Turkey says US human rights report is 'full of false portrayals'
TM

Turkey on Sunday criticized a recently released US State Department document titled “Turkey 2017 Human Rights Report,” saying it is “full of false portrayals, unacceptable accusations and allegations.”

“The necessary and proportionate measures taken within the context of our rightful and legitimate struggle against terrorist organizations … are once again presented in a biased manner that does not reflect realities,” the Foreign Ministry said in a Sunday statement on the annual report, which was released last week.

In reference to the Turkish government’s witch hunt targeting members of the Gülen movement, accused of masterminding a failed coup in 2016, the Foreign Ministry said the report “which repeats the narratives of terrorist affiliated groups and recklessly misrepresents the fight against terrorism as ‘internal conflict,’ was prepared by a country that hosts the ringleader of FETÖ.”

Saudi Arabia called Turkey part of a "triangle of evil" with Iran and? I'm not sure, Russia I think, maybe it was Syria. Maybe they can clue us in on this.  No way should we have nukes in Saudi but... the way Turkey is going, they are going to be or are now, worse of a dictatorship than Saudi Arabia.
