London, (IINA) - U.K. authorities have apologized to visiting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu for protests staged in London while he was holding an official meeting with his British counterpart, David Cameron, on Monday, Hurriyet Daily News reported citing Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency (AA).
Sajid Javid, the British Secretary of State for Business, Innovation & Skills, visited Davutoglu at the hotel where he was staying during his two-day visit to London to apologize about the protests; Anadolu Agency quoted anonymous prime ministerial sources as saying.
A group of supporters of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) had chanted slogans in favor of the group in front of Downing Street while Davutoglu and Cameron were holding scheduled talks.
AA claimed that Javid said the protests were “unacceptable” and the U.K. would take “all necessary measures” to prevent such a situation from taking place again.
The Turkish authorities had earlier informed their British counterparts that not enough security measures were taken during the meeting.
Turkey, the European Union, and the United States officially consider the PKK to be a terrorist organization.
Meanwhile, Anadolu Agency reported that Javid said Davutoglu’s visit, together with a large retinue of businessmen, would contribute to deepening of cooperation between the two countries, mainly in the fields of innovation, research and trade.
