Turkey slammed a recent report by international observers on
the April 16 constitutional referendum, calling it "biased" and
"unacceptable” on April 17.
"The initial findings in question are a reflection of a
biased and prejudiced approach," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a
statement, referring to the observations made by the OSCE Office for Democratic
Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe (PACE) monitors.
The foreign ministry said it was "unacceptable" to
state that the poll fell short of international standards.
