Turkey says EU exercising democracy selectively, wrong to stand by Netherlands
None
ANKARA -- Turkey's foreign ministry on Tuesday slammed the European Union for telling Ankara to refrain from excessive statements, saying it was very grave for the bloc to stand by the Netherlands which it said has violated human rights and European values.
In a statement, the Turkish foreign ministry said the European Union was exercising democratic values and basic rights and freedoms selectively and that its comments calling for calm had no value for Ankara.
