ANKARA - "Certain circles try to play games as in allegations on terrorist head Ocalan`s poisoning," said Cemil Cicek, Turkish Justice Minister and Government Spokesman, on Monday.
Cicek held a press briefing following the weekly Council of Ministers meeting in Ankara.
"No one should pay attention to false allegations. No one should believe lies," noted Cicek.
Cicek`s comments came after certain circles alleged that terrorist head Abdullah Ocalan was poisoned. Earlier today, the Istanbul Forensic Department announced that no poison was found in hair, blood and urine samples of Ocalan.
"Turkey is a country that respects the rule of law. Trials and verdicts are implemented according to existing laws," told Cicek.
He added that Turkish citizens should be careful about provocateurs during the upcoming Nevrouz celebrations.
Nevrouz is a spring celebration that generally falls around March 21st, corresponding to the vernal equinox, when the day and night are of equal length. It is a celebration shared by the Turkic world.
