Countries directly or indirectly supporting the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) will "face that very gun themselves one day," Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said during a speech he gave at the opening of a terminal building in Elazığ Airport.

"The countries that directly or indirectly support the terrorist organization's acts will one day face that gun themselves," he said.He also stated that no demand would ever be achieved through guns and violence.

"The path of terror, violence and weapons has ended ... It is now understood that nothing can be gained from those methods. They are not trying to help my Kurdish brothers. If that were the case they would not have hurled Molotov cocktails at schools when our children were inside," Erdoğan said.

"They pledge blood," he added.
