Also Friday, Erdogan got a sampling of the EU’s practice of lecturing European countries on international human rights standards.
“Before speaking about our common future, we should speak about the present,” said Stefan Fule, a Czech diplomat who serves as EU commissioner for enlargement. He said it is the duty of all states to aspire to the “highest possible democratic standards and practices,” including the freedom to express opinions, to assemble peacefully, and the freedom of the media to report “on what is happening as it is happening.”
He said: “There is no place for police brutality in democracies.”
Erdogan retorted that the EU has its own human rights issues, and he mentioned that they include discrimination against ethnic groups such as the Roma, or gypsies, Associated Press reported.
