PanARMENIAN.Net – The United States is a strong defender of freedom of
expression in Turkey and in all countries around the world, a State
Department spokesperson said.
“We do not want to comment at this time on specific cases before the
courts,” Victoria Nuland told a daily briefing in Washington when asked
to comment on the recent arrest of Turkish and Kurdish intellectuals,
specifically the case of Ragip Zarakolu.
“We urge that the prosecution proceed transparently, and that all
defendants be assured due process and a fair hearing in a timely
manner,” she said.
