CCAF CONDEMNS FRENCH DECISION RE: TURKEY-EUROPEAN TALKS
17:09, February 13, 2013
In a statement released on February 12, the Coordination Council of
Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF) condemned France~Rs decision
to agree to the opening of a new chapter of negotiations between
Turkey and the European Union.
The CCAF statement says such a move neglects the serious violation of
human rights in Turkey, pointing to recent attacks against Armenian
women in Istanbul, the life sentence handed down by a Turkish court
to Pinar Selek, and the scores of Turkish journalists and lawyers
serving lengthy prison sentences in Turkey.
