Abdullah Gul: Ghannouchi does not deserve to be forgotten behind bars. Former Turkish president says he feels a duty, as a former president, to draw attention to the plight of the imprisoned Tunisian politician.
Gul: This is a painful prospect for any true believer in democracy, as Ghannouchedi served his country and his people with all respect, and he doesn't deserve to been forgotten. Gul points out that Tunisia sent a clear message to the world that democracy is not a form of government limited to the West.
