"Political row on Eurlings report in Brussels
Friday , 15 September 2006
Turkish deputies who went to Brussels this week to urge the change on a key European Parliament report ended up in bitter argument -- with each other.
The European Parliament report on Turkey, prepared by EP Committee on Foreign Affairs Rapporteur and Dutch MEP Camiel Eurlings, criticized Turkey on a number of issues, including Cyprus, a slowdown in the EU reform process, the situation in the southeast, problems with religious minorities, cultural rights and civilian-military relations. It raised particular concerns about last November's Semdinli incident, during which a bookshop in the southeast was allegedly bombed by members of the security forces, and called for an impartial and objective investigation of it."
