US allies Turkey and Slovakia condemn torture; praise report on CIA

Two important US NATO allies on Thursday condemned the CIA's harsh treatment of terrorist suspects detailed in a report this week, but praised the decision to make the Senate investigation public.

 

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in Ankara the report is being analyzed to determine whether any Turkish citizens were involved.

 

From what has already been read, however "we see that there was inhumane and really unacceptable torture and treatment," he said.

 

Speaking alongside Cavusoglu, Slovakian Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak said the use of illegal camps and "unacceptable methods of interrogation" detailed in the report had been known, but he welcomed the report's publication.

 

"I see it as a sign of the United States distancing themselves from these practices of the past," he said. "And it should also serve as a guarantee that things like that will never happen in the future."
