Supporters of the PKK/YPG terror group in Sweden continued their provocations against Türkiye on Thursday.

Terror supporters gathered in front of the historical City Hall in the capital Stockholm, hung a puppet -- likened to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- by the feet on a pole in front of the building and shared video footage of this moment on social media.
