The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticized the EU officials, accusing them of interfering in Turkey's internal affairs.

As the Turkish Milliyet reports, the Turkish Prime Minister announced that Europe and the European officials have no right to dictate how the Turkish people should live in Turkey, particularly, should not accuse execution of death penalty. "Europe says that death penalty cannot be executed. My response to the West is that Turkey's fate is in your hands. Who is the President of the European Parliament? Who is he? Since when has he began making decisions for Turkey," Erdogan said.

As reported earlier, the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz has severely criticized arrests of Kurdish MPs and opposition journalists in Turkey, and announced that death penalty cannot be applied.
