Beglitis: Turkey has still a lot to do on Human Rights
Turkey's course in the European Union will be judged by whether it will implement the European Court for Human Rights decision that condemns the Turkish violations in Cyprus.
The above were reiterated today by Greek foreign ministry spokesman Panos Beglitis, who characterized the decision as important. He also referred to the recent intervention made by Greek foreign minister Giorgos Papandreou in the formal dinner of his 15 EU counterparts, stating that he spoke of a serious deficit in the materialization of the Turkish-EU partnership relation as far as human rights and prisons in Turkey are concerned.
Thanks to Mr. Papandreou, stated Mr. Beglitis, it was pointed out that
Turkey's moves are toward the right direction after the reforms in the
anti-terrorist law that was passed in the Turkish parliament. Mr. Beglitis
stated that there are still a lot that must be done in the sectors of the
Turkish correctional system and human rights, while there are conflicting
messages coming from Ankara as its intransigence in the Greek-Turkish
relations and the Cyprus problem continues.
