I would say that Turkey has been violating international law.
I was a member of Parliament for eight years. I now have to live in Germany in exile. I can't go back to my country. The democratic record and human rights record of Turkey are very well known. Unfortunately, Europe, the U.S. and everybody else have turned a blind eye to the deterioration of human rights and democracy in Turkey.
Engagement is a must in Syria and in Turkey, but as we say, all engagement should be strictly based upon conditionality. If Turkey agrees to some democratic standards, that's good. If not, there should be consequences for it.
