Turkey has hit back at the European Council, seeing its membership in the European Union at stake on allegations of human rights violations. President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that if the council did not respect the court of his country, he would also not respect the council.
It is noteworthy that the council has raised questions about the legal action being taken against entrepreneur and human rights activist Osman Kavala from Turkey. Osman was arrested by Turkey in 2017 on charges of anti-national activities. He has been arrested and released several times.
On Wednesday, the European Council sent the case to the European Court of Justice to investigate Osman’s human rights violations. Turkey is one of the founding members of the European Union, but if found guilty in the latest action, its membership could also be suspended. This is the reason why Turkey is trying to save membership by showing aggressive attitude.
