Summary Turkish PM claims that progress report by European Parliament is biased.

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan rebuffed a progress report by European Parliament on Thursday saying it was biased and far from objective.The European Parliament voiced serious concerns about press freedom in Turkey in a criticism-laden report that was published Wednesday. The reports publishing comes a week after a Turkish court charged six journalists and a writer with involvement in an alleged plot to overthrow the government. Erdogan told a news conference that whoever penned this report, they do not know Turkey, and they are far from acknowledging the realities of Turkey. This report was ordered and it is not stable and I am sorry but I believe that the writers of this report are not stable either.
