Anger in Ankara over Finnish MP's line "Don't eat kebab, prefer Kurdish doner"
The dispute between Finland and Turkey takes another turn, due to Turkish objections to the Scandinavian country's progressive accession to the EU.A Finnish MP[/B]
A Finnish MP called on his compatriots to boycott the Turkish... kebab.
The MP, Mikko Karna, urged Finns to suspend their holiday plans in Turkey, not to eat doner kebabs and not to use Turkish products in general.
What raised the pressure of the Turks, however, was the MP's line that "Kurdish doner" is much better than Turkish!
The news was reported by the English-language website of the Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah, adding that Miko Karna said, however, that he would eat Turkish kebab every day for a month if Ankara approves Finland's NATO membership.
"We do not host terrorists. The PKK is recognized as a terrorist group by the entire EU," the MP added, according to Turkish media.
