President welcomes the reform programme of the Turkish Prime Minister

01.10.2013 - PACE President Jean-Claude Mignon today made the following statement:

“I welcome the announcement by Prime Minister Erdogan of an ambitious democratic reform programme which, for the most part, seems able to satisfy the expectations of the Turkish population and provide a response to our Assembly’s observations.

I hope that this reform will be implemented at the earliest possible time consistent with in-depth democratic debate”.
