Erdogan prijst Turkse politie

The Turkish prime minister has leveled harsh criticism against those who slammed the heavy-handed police crackdown on protests that have swept Turkey in the last few weeks, saying that the police have “successfully passed the test of democracy.” [...] He slammed the European Parliament for adopting a decision last week rebuking Turkey for its handling of the protests. “Instead of teaching us a lesson, go read the EU acquis,” Erdo?an said, criticizing the European body for remaining indifferent to police crackdowns on protests in Greece, Germany and Britain.
