The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has questioned French President Francois Hollande as to why he had met one of the assassinated Kurdish activists.
Sakine Cansiz was a founder member of the PKK and was shot by unknown assailants in Paris, along with two fellow activists.
Erdogan has called on Hollande to explain himself, after the French president said he met one of the murdered Kurds regularly.
He said Mr Hollande should "immediately disclose" why he met members of "this terrorist organisation, what was discussed, to what end he was in communication with these terrorists".
"How can you routinely meet with members of an organisation labelled a terrorist group by the European Union and being sought by Interpol? What kind of politics is this?" he asked.
