Ankara, Dec 23, 2020 (AFP) — President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday blasted the top European human rights court's call for Turkey to release Kurdish political leader Selahattin Demirtas after four years in jail.
Erdogan said the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued an "entirely political" ruling by publishing a judgement before Demirtas had used up all his legal challenges in Turkish courts.
