Stoltenberg: we expect Turkey to respect human rights

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with Foreign Affairs magazine that he expects that Turkey like any other member state of the alliance will respect human rights, individual liberty and adhere to democracy.

"NATO is based on some core values: human rights, individual liberty and democracy. I expect all NATO allies to adhere to those values," RIA Novosti cited Stoltenberg as saying.

Earlier, the international human rights organization Amnesty International accused Turkey of forcibly returning thousands of refugees back to Syria, violating the norms of international law. The Turkish Foreign Ministry denied these allegations.
