Turkey Warns France: “Do Not Interfere

In a statement ⁣reported by webangah News Agency, Turkey’s Foreign ministry rejected France’s recent​ remarks‍ as “judicial interference,” asserting that all legal proceedings in Turkey follow fair and​ transparent constitutional standards through an independant judiciary.

The ministry highlighted that while ‌Turkey conducts lawful‌ trials for ⁢all citizens, France currently has an opposition ​leader‍ imprisoned and barred ‌from elections -⁤ suggesting Paris applies “double ‌standards”‌ in its criticism.‍ Ankara urged⁢ France to⁣ respect Turkey’s sovereignty, avoid politically motivated‌ statements against other nations, and focus on its own ⁢domestic challenges.

The rebuke ​came after France’s Foreign Ministry expressed concern yesterday over the detention of several Turkish ‍opposition figures, including multiple⁤ mayors.
