The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan again got exasperated by the European Parliament report on Turkey.

At the meeting with village heads, Erdoğan referred to the aforementioned report, naming it wrong and distorted, Milliyet reports.

The Turkish President was concerned about the fact that the report also referred to the Armenian Genocide, as well as Cyprus and Kurdish issues.  He insisted that the freedom of the press in Turkey had been wrongly presented in the document.

Moreover, Erdoğan noted that they sent the report back, not finding any connection between it and the reality.

The European Parliament report on Turkey included harsh criticism regarding the human rights violations in Turkey, restrictions of freedom of speech and press, as well as the Kurdish issue.
