BELGRADE, Serbia 

North Macedonia has not offered the expected support to Turkey in the fight against terrorist organizations, Turkey's embassy in the capital Skopje said Wednesday.

The embassy released an online statement saying Ankara's anti-terror operations were ongoing both at home and abroad in order to make its region safer.

Referring to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) -- the terror group responsible for the 2016 defeated coup in Turkey -- and linked organizations, the statement said its efforts would continue until "gaining results".

It added that those working in "institutions and organizations of the terrorist organizations in question or who still support their activities" would no longer be able to easily enter Turkey as they once could.

The statement underlined that Turkey was a country with the will and strength to carry its fight against terrorism by itself.
