"This decision, which shows disrespect for the judiciary's verdict, has seriously damaged the reputation and credibility of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe , " Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement."With this decision, which shows disrespect for the judiciary's verdict, the reputation and credibility of PACE have been seriously damaged," it added.
"It is unacceptable that the Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize to be given to an individual in our country who has a final conviction ruled by the judiciary," said the statement. "The decision to award the prize to an individual with a final conviction is an extension of attempt to politicise the law. International organisations that are expected to serve the preservation of common values should not be used for such political agendas," the statement said.
