Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rebuffs EU on media raids
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected EU criticism of police raids on media organisations on Monday, with a warning to “keep your opinions to yourselves.”
The EU had condemned Sunday’s police raids, which targeted a newspaper and a TV station associated with Erdogan opponent Fethullah Gulen.
President Erdogan has accused Gulen followers within the police and judiciary of being behind corruption allegations that rattled his government last year, and has vowed to go after the group.
