Turkey dismisses EU criticism of police raids
Turkey's president on Monday rejected the European Union's criticism of police raids on media organizations in the country, telling the 28-member bloc to "keep your opinions to yourselves."
The EU has criticized Sunday's police raids, which targeted a newspaper and a television station affiliated with the US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen - a one-time ally of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has turned into one of his biggest critics.
Erdogan has accused Gulen's followers within the police and judiciary of being behind corruption allegations that rattled his government last year and has vowed to go after his group.
