Turkey says accusations regarding IS 'baseless'

Turkey has been the target of "baseless" accusations regarding the militant group IS, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaking to the Council of Foreign Relations, a US think tank,  Monday in New York. 

Erdogan emphasised that Turkey is a country that has fought terrorism on its own for long time and has paid a heavy cost and that "any support from Turkey to a terrorist organization is out of question."
