A new made up indictment against Osman Kavala, asking for 3 x aggravated life sentence + 20 yrs in prison.

And EU leaders speaking about ‘a positive agenda’ with Turkey?

Forget it. Not going to happen until political prisoners remain jailed.

Another black day in Turkey with massive political crackdown on @HDPNLD

Arresting 82 politicians for Kobane protests in 2014, shows AKP/MHP alliance’s aggressive and polarizing stance.

For democratic future of Turkey, peaceful coexistence w/ Kurds is a pre-condition.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Wed 23 Sep 2020, 16:05

@JFCrisp But the borderprocedure is also applied for applicants coming from a safe third country, read Turkey, read Moria.

Message Judge Spano in Turkey: ‘implement rulings of ECtHR’

Now let’s hope Turkish government will listen and release Osman Kavala and Selahattin Demirtas.

If not, what a bad decision to do such a politically controversial visit to 🇹🇷

Kati Piri Thu 3 Sep 2020, 22:23

@vdogantekin @ECHR_CEDH Please explain which ‘both sides’ judge Spano is meeting in Turkey?

Kati Piri Tue 11 Aug 2020, 00:36

@FlorianIrminger No, but still sad that Turkey has come to this point.

Kati Piri Tue 28 Jul 2020, 19:21

Turkish MFA reaction: “The rule of law prevails in Turkey and Kavala's trial is being carried out by independent courts.”

WHAT A BAD JOKE! The fact that Osman Kavala, and many others, are in jail proves that there is NO rule of law nor independent courts.

Kati Piri Tue 23 Jun 2020, 18:06

If a politician is brave, outspoken and inspiring, chances are big to end up in prison in Erdogan’s Turkey.

We stand behind you, @Canan_Kaftanci - keep strong and continue the fight for justice and democracy in Turkey. 💪

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Thu 18 Jun 2020, 18:43

The Commission has proposed additional funding for the support of refugees living in Turkey. That is important, but it should use this support to urge Turkey not to deport refugees to Syria. Non-refoulement is key. ecfr.eu/publications/s…

Kati Piri Fri 12 Jun 2020, 07:00

7340 troll accounts attributed to youth wing of Erdogan’s AKP taken down by Twitter.

Turkey’s ruling party actively engaged in spreading disinformation: amplifying AKP politicians & criticizing opposition across 37 million (!) tweets.

Embarrassing.

Three opposition MPs stripped of their parliamentary seats.

Another 3 to be added to the long list of elected officials removed due to politically motivated trials.

In Erdogan’s Turkey everyone who doesn’t agree with the man is labeled ‘terrorist’. What a democracy...

After a month of fasting under extra difficult circumstances, I wish a happy and peaceful #EidAlFitr to all Muslims celebrating #EidMubarak around the world. And to my followers in Turkey: #mutlubayramlar!

Priorities amidst a pandemic in #Turkey. The political witch hunt against elected officials continues.

Kati Piri Tue 21 Apr 2020, 11:29

The 2020 World Press Index shows that press freedom is under serious pressure in some EU member states. And candidate countries still far behind, with #Turkey in place 154. #RSFIndex

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Thu 2 Apr 2020, 12:03

OK, now the Greek minister admits it: he doesn’t want to evacuate asylum seekers from the islands, as they cannot be returned to Turkey anymore. So their return is prioritised to protecting their health. Do other Member States step in?

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Thu 2 Apr 2020, 11:52

According to Frontex, Turkey doesn’t readmit any returnees from Greece since March. But what about pushbacks by Greece? And why are asylum seekers still detained in Greece, if they can’t be deported anyway?

Rob Roos (JA21) Tue 24 Mar 2020, 15:56

#Turkey weaponized migrants and sent militias to the Greek border with teargas and Molotov cocktails. Unacceptable! The #EU should finally make itself useful by putting immediate financial and trade sanctions on Turkey. The sabotage and violence of #Erdogan must stop!

Derk Jan Eppink Mon 9 Mar 2020, 07:01

Turkey still in NATO?

Marcel de Graaff (FvD) Sat 7 Mar 2020, 19:56

There are no refugees at the border with Greece. There are invaders, send by the government of Turkey. #stopislam

Kati Piri Fri 6 Mar 2020, 17:14

EU27 should have prolonged the financial support for refugees in Turkey months ago. Then it wouldn’t have come to this point. #failure

Kati Piri Fri 6 Mar 2020, 12:44

“Laying the blame on the Turkish president is simply too easy. If the EU-Turkey deal is in tatters, it’s also because the EU was -at the very least- negligent in delivering on its side of the bargain.” @POLITICOEurope

Malik Azmani (VVD) Wed 4 Mar 2020, 16:34

We are facing a serious challenge, but we have to remain calm. The EU has to immediately initiate talks with Russia and Turkey to resolve both crises in Idlib and at EU’s borders. Support for GR and BG is of utmost importance. We have to de-escalate and act now!
@RenewEurope

Kati Piri Sun 1 Mar 2020, 16:50

Ironic that EU leaders suddenly all call for EU-Turkey statement to be upheld, while NO money has been reserved in #MFF for its continuation.

Funding for 500.000 Syrian schoolchildren ends 9/2020 and cash assistance to 1.7 mil Syrians in Turkey end 3/2021.

Malik Azmani (VVD) Sat 29 Feb 2020, 16:26

Turkish president Erdogan is in trouble in Syria and is trying to put pressure on EU by 'opening the gates'. Unacceptable. EU has to support GR and BG and keep Turkey to its commitments under the EU-Turkey deal. Work for HR/VP Borrell👇👇

The Pelican clique’s witch hunt #Turkey

Kati Piri Wed 19 Feb 2020, 13:12

In case of any doubt, here the full proof that Turkey’s judiciary is run by @RTErdogan. His own words on case of #OsmanKavala from this morning below:

Kati Piri Tue 18 Feb 2020, 20:50

Thinking about Osman and his family. His wife, his mother, all his loved ones. 💔

And Selahattin Demirtas & his family, living through the same nightmare.

And so many more others in Turkey who are unjustly in jail.

Today was clearly not the start of return to justice.

Kati Piri Tue 18 Feb 2020, 13:02

The best news in a long time from Turkey! Osman Kavala acquitted and judge ordered his release.

Kati Piri Sun 16 Feb 2020, 17:47

In 2013, millions of people in Turkey went on the streets during the #Gezi protests. @RTErdogan attempts to re-write history by calling it a coup attempt.

On 18 February we’ll all watch the trial. ECtHR has called for the immediate release of Osman Kavala. #YargıYokİnfazVar

Kati Piri Thu 6 Feb 2020, 17:19

There’s no limit to the madness in #Turkey - Osman Kavala, @yigitaksakoglu & @MucellaYapici and all others in #gezi trial are innocent, as proven by European Court. Prosecutor asks for aggravated life sentences.

SHAM TRIAL, SHAM JUSTICE!

Kati Piri Tue 28 Jan 2020, 23:14

ANY doubts about the state of the judiciary in Turkey? Then read this article.

I’m certain that many respected Turkish judges, prosecutors and lawyers are utterly ashamed of what their country has become.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Mon 16 Dec 2019, 20:57

During a hearing with LIBE, Commissioner Schinas simply refuses to reply on questions about deportation of Syrian refugees to North East Syria by Turkey.

Peter van Dalen (CU) Wed 13 Nov 2019, 11:19

Pastor Brunson is very clear: Erdogan’s #Turkey is moving into the direction of an islamic nationalistic state. That is the agenda of Erdogan for both Turkey and the whole region

Turkey must be held responsible for war crimes committed against Kurdish civilians. The use of white phosphorus is not only cruel but also strictly prohibited by international law.

Welcomed CHP Presidential candidate @vekilince in European Parliament. Discussed critical developments in EU-Turkey relations & need for cooperation progressive forces.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Mon 14 Oct 2019, 18:27

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard a proposal to increase “assistance and cooperation” with (of all countries) Turkey.

At this time? With all that is going on in Northern Syria?

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Mon 14 Oct 2019, 16:02

EU Ministers call for the prevention of further arms export to Turkey, but lack on concrete sanctions or commitments. No words on Erdogan’s threats to deport Syrian refugees. EU remains at the sideline, while we can’t afford to wait any longer.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Mon 14 Oct 2019, 14:05

Condemns is in. And 'Member States commit to strong national positions regarding their arms export to Turkey'. The state of EU foreign affairs 2019....

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Thu 3 Oct 2019, 20:37

#Schinas answer on EU Turkey deal is concerning: Avramopoulos and Seehofer are currently in Turkey in order to ‘refresh’ the deal. He praises new Greek government for ‘aligning with EU’s policy’. Doesn’t sound like more responsibility sharing.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Sun 29 Sep 2019, 21:50

This is happening in Europe, on our watch. It is deeply, deeply shameful and infuriating. The result of political choices. And some still have the nerve to call the Turkey deal “a succes”. euronews.com/2019/09/29/on­e…­
