ANKARA – "The report of the European Parliament (EP) Foreign Affairs
Commission on Turkey reflects views of a narrow-minded and flippant
group," Social Democratic People’s Party (SHP) Secretary-General
Ahmet Guryuz Ketenci said on Wednesday.

Ketenci told a written statement that the report includes many
requests, which do not have any legal or historical ground.

"The report reflects theses of the Greek Cypriot administration and
Armenia through the EU. Turkey should display a harsh reaction against
it," he stressed.

"The report discusses the integrity, national sovereignty and
independence of Turkey. Such a report reflecting a will to separate
Turkey culturally and politically, contradicts the EU’s mentality,"
he added.
