Oktay believes that the ambassadors have exceeded their authority by calling for political interference in Turkey's judicial affairs.
In his statement, he noted that they should "show respect for the independence of the country in which they work."
“The courts in Turkey are independent, and Turkey is a completely independent country.
Those who wish to intervene in the judicial process can continue to fulfill such wishes in their countries, ”the Turkish vice president wrote on Twitter.
The embassies of Canada, France, Finland, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the United States have previously called on Turkey to release Osman Kavala, a human rights activist and founder of the Anadolu Kültür AŞ cultural foundation.
After that, the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned the ambassadors of these countries.
