User:Darkness Shines/Turkey and state sponsored terrorism

International reactions
In 2016 documents seen by the German state broadcaster ARD, show that the German government believes that the Turkish government has supported militant groups, and that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had cooperated with designated terrorist groups including Hamas. According to Jonathan Schanzer if Turkey were held to the same standards as Iran, then Turkey would be designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.

State reactions
In 2017 the Turkish government blocked access to Wikipedia after requests to delete articles which make allegations of Turkish support for terrorist groups were denied.
