Attack on a newspaper in Turkey are not in accordance with the values of constitution, State Department spokesperson John Kirby said.

Washington wants to see Turkey thrive and flouriss, and “to see it live up to its own core values and the values expressed in its constitution.”

“And actions such as these attacks that we’ve seen, and particularly against the newspaper, are unhelpful and certainly not in keeping with those values, and we’d like to see all Turks express the appropriate respect for those values,” Kirby added.
