Turkey strongly condemned Monday the beheading of three Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga hostages by the Daesh group.
A video was released Friday that showed Daesh members slaughtering three Peshmerga hostages in what the armed group said was a response to Peshmerga and the US-led airstrikes against its strongholds in Syria and Iraq.
"The despicable slaughter of three Kurdish Peshmerga has caused a huge public indignation," the statement said, according to Anadolu Agency.
In a statement Monday, Turkish Foreign Ministry offered condolences to the victims' families and said it shared the "brother" Kurdish peoples' grief in the region.
