The ministry of EU affairs in turkey (Egemen Bağış), 17.06.2013 "In recent days, we have been seeing that some European parliamentarians and officials are irresponsibly making very bold and irrational speeches. [...] the eagerness of some members of the European Parliament to make absurd statements merely for media attention is obvious. [...] Certain members of European Parliament need to understand that making such bold and irresponsible comments on Turkey’s internal affairs would have some costs. [...] Turkey is not a banana republic. It is a democratic and secular state governed by the rule of law. [...] No one should exceed their limits by accusing the Republic of Turkey of using violence. Such allegations by European politicians and especially by countries whose own records are tarnished in this respect are unacceptable. There is no State violence in Turkey. [...] We know the national and international players in this plot. [...] Turkey has the most reformist and strongest government in Europe and the most charismatic and strongest leader in the world. Should anyone have a problem with this, then I am truly sorry. [...] Within this framework, we warn that to adopt a stance which obstructs some of the positive developments recently planned may lead Turkey-EU relations to an irreversible point."
