députés turcs d'origine kur<strong>de</strong> emprisonnés.<br />
"La justice est indépendante en Turquie <strong>et</strong> ni le gouvernement ni le<br />
parlement ne peuvent avoir une influence sur elle. Nous l'avons déjà dit au<br />
parlement européen", a déclaré le porte-parole <strong>de</strong> la diplomatie turque Omer<br />
Akbel, lors <strong>de</strong> son point <strong>de</strong> presse hebdomadaire.<br />
"Il n'est pas utile d'établir un lien entre c<strong>et</strong>te affaire (députés<br />
kur<strong>de</strong>s) <strong>et</strong> l'union douanière alors que la Turquie remplit progressivement<br />
ses engagements (••• ) C<strong>et</strong>te union douanière est à la fois dans l'intérêt <strong>de</strong><br />
la Turquie <strong>et</strong> <strong>de</strong> l'UE", a ajouté M. Akbel, en déplorant l'attitu<strong>de</strong> du<br />
parlement européen.<br />
Huit députés turcs d'origine kur<strong>de</strong> ont été condamnés en décembre <strong>de</strong>rnier<br />
