He said, they distort events of the past to advance a narrow minded view of the present. <br />''<br />''The MEA Spokesperson said, this recent episode is but one more example of a pattern of Turkey interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. He said, India finds that completely unacceptable. Mr Kumar said, India rejects the repeated attempts by Turkey to justify the cross border terrorism practiced blatantly by Pakistan. He said, these developments have strong implications for the bilateral relationship.<br />''<br />''The demarche was made by Secretary (West) in the MEA to the Ambassador of Turkey in New Delhi today.</span><br />
