Closure Case Against Ak Party

-U.S. THINKS ALL ENTITIES INVOLVED SHOULD RESPECT DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Department of State said regarding the closure case filed against the ruling Justice & Development (AK) Party that they think all entities involved should respect democratic institutions and values as well as the rule of law.
Spokesman Tom Casey said, "in any democracy, the voters determine the country's political future. In Turkey the voters spoke in 2007. This approach reflects our strong support for Turkish democratic secularism," when he replied to a question on the closure case in a daily press briefing in Washington, D.C.
