German Ambassador Says His Country Cannot Understand Closure Case Against Turkey’s Ruling Party
German Ambassador in Ankara Eckart Cuntz says :
“We cannot understand why a democratic party, which came to power with 47 percent of votes, is wanted to be closed.
I hope that every institution in Turkey is aware of their responsibilities about European norms and values, such as the Venice criteria, democracy, human rights, rule of law, and secularism.
We stand side by side with Turkey. We want a strong Turkey and we support its European Union membership.”
