EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The Turkish ambassador to the EU, Selim Kuneralp, has said that Viviane Reding's attack on French Roma expulsions will help non-EU countries to swallow Brussels' criticism of human rights in future.
Speaking to EUobserver on Tuesday (14 September), a few hours after the EU commissioner dubbed as a 'disgrace' the French policy of mass Roma deportations, the senior diplomat said: 'I am very happy to see the commission showing the same kind of sensitivity to human rights violations at home as it does in candidate countries or third countries.'"
