Kerry: Reports The US Assisted Attempt To Overthrow Turkish Gov't Are ‘Utterly False'
 [Daily Caller] Secretary of State John Kerry spoke Saturday evening with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and suggested any public reports of U.S. involvement in the failed coup attempt of the Turkish government are "utterly false."Not only are they false, Kerry said, but they also harm relations between the U.S. and Turkey. After receiving an update from Cavusoglu on the rapidly developing coup situation in Turkey, Kerry reiterated that the U.S. supports the "democratically elected government in Turkey." Kerry also urged Turkish authorities to respect due process and adhere to international obligations in its treatment of those involved in the coup and to make sure civilian life and property are protected. If Turkey needs additional assistance, Kerry added, the U.S. is prepared to help. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-07-18 |
