European Journalists Raise Concerns Over Turkey's Record on Media Rights As EU Leaders Meet
The European Federation of Journalists, the regional group of the International Federation of Journalists, today expressed concern over Turkey's record on rights of journalists and press freedom as European leaders gathered in Brussels to decide on whether to start talks with Ankara over the country's application to join the European Union.
"Turkish journalists still work in difficult conditions below the levels of social and professional standards enjoyed by other journalists within the European Union", says the EFJ in a letter sent to Abdullah Gul, the Turkish Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister."
