Commenting on the violence that has erupted in Turkey's prisons, Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis stated today that the neighboring country displays "brutal behavior towards those who cannot defend their human rights."

Mr. Simitis added that every country that is a candidate for accession to the European Union is obliged to show respect for human rights, while he also added that Ankara's ties with the EU are the means for establishing a state of justice in Turkey.

Mr. Simitis was received by the President of the Hellenic Republic Costis Stephanopoulos this morning.
