Turkey's new EU Minister Mevlüt ÇavuÅ?oÄ?lu has rebuked the European
Commissioner for Enlargement Stefan Füle for issuing a statement
welcoming a Council of State ruling to annul a controversial
regulation lifting investigation secrecy amid a graft scandal, the
Hurriyet DailyNews reports.
`I invite our European friends to avoid preconceived convictions and
be more vigilant while commenting on developments about Turkey's
internal developments which have political dimensions,' ÇavuÅ?oÄ?lu said
in his first statement as EU minister on Dec. 28.
Freshly appointed as EU minister in the place of Egemen BaÄ?ıÅ? who held
the position since the ministry was established in 2011, as part of a
wide cabinet reshuffle on Dec. 25, ÇavuÅ?oÄ?lu urged the EU to open the
chapter 23 on Judiciary and Fundamental Rights and chapter 24 on
Justice, Freedom and Security in the accession negotiations.
`Nobody should have any doubt that Turkey will overcome this difficult
process with the guidance of democracy and basic legal rights,' the
statement also said.
Füle had praised on Dec. 27 Turkey's Council of State's decision to
annul the controversial regulation obliging those carrying out
investigations to inform superiors.
`In recent days, the change introduced to the judicial police
regulation has undermined the independence of the judiciary and its
capacity to act. The application of this regulation has been suspended
by the Council of State. I welcome this suspension and hope the
Council's decision will be quickly finalized,' Füle said Dec. 27.
