Turkish Journalist Association condemns attack on columnists
ISTANBUL
“We regard the defamation campaign against our colleagues some columnists including Yazgülü Aldoğan, Yılmaz Özdil and Melis Alphan as another way of violating freedom of press and expression,” the TGC said in a statement May 26.
“We take the threatening and insulting remarks of Prime Minister [Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan against the columnist that he does not like as an attack on the freedom of information and press,” said the TGC.
