Defiant Erdogan Says He Will Ignore Court Ruling On Jailed Journalists
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said that he will ignore a constitutional court ruling that says his detention of two journalists who were critical of the Turkish leader had violated their rights. In an act of defiance, Erdogan dismissed the ruling saying that he does not accept it, and announced that he had no intentions of obeying it. Dailystar.com.lb reports: Can Dundar, editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet, and Ankara bureau chief Erdem Gul were released pending trial Friday after the constitutional court ruling.
