State Department presser on Wednesday commented on the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, APA reports citing Turkiye Today.
The messages relayed include encouraging Türkiye to “respect human rights.” Yet Tammy Bruce, the spokesperson for the State Department, also mentioned that the US, “will not comment on the internal decision-marking processes of another country.”
“We simply remind that we expect them to act in a manner that respects the rights of all their citizens. This is already very clear, but it’s good to repeat.”
