ANKARA - Turkey's foreign minister on Sunday said China should not label all Muslim ethnic Uighurs as terrorists, following talks with his Chinese counterpart in Germany.

"Whether Turk, Uighur Turk, Han Chinese, Buddhist or Christian... it is not right to call all Uighur Turks terrorists just because one or two terrorists came from a certain ethnic group," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in Germany. The Turkish minister criticised sceptical statements from Beijing over links between Turks and Uighurs, insisting they had"ethnic, religious, cultural and historical ties".
