Turkey boycotts human rights meeting over presence of NGOs

None

Turkey's government is not attending Europe's largest human rights conference because it was not allowed to prevent the participation of non-governmental organizations.

 

The US Helsinki Commission, a US government agency, said on Twitter on Monday that "Turkey is the only country boycotting ... because it insists on having the ability to veto NGOs wishing to participate."
