Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday voiced doubts about the credibility of the website that has made thousands of United States’ State Department reports public.
“Wikileaks’ credibility is doubtful,” the prime minister told reporters at a press conference at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport prior to departing for Libya. “Once WikiLeaks publishes the documents it has possession of, we can then evaluate the seriousness of the issues raised in those documents.”
Everyone should wait and see the contents of the documents scheduled to be released by WikiLeaks, Erdoğan said, adding that he would make a formal statement after the leaked documents have been evaluated.
