Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday he had ordered the foreign ministry to declare 10 ambassadors -- including from the United States, Germany and France -- 'persona non grata' for calling for the release of philanthropist Osman Kavala.

The foreign ministry summoned the ambassadors on Tuesday for what it said was an "irresponsible" statement calling for a just and speedy resolution to Kavala's case. He has been in prison since late 2017, charged with financing protests and participating in a failed coup, which he denies.Sign up for our newsletter

Where are all those shocks and deep concerns ( antonioguterres EUCouncil UN_Spokesperson ) and others?

This is an evil person and the world should boycott him

Let’s not lose sight of the main story. Erdogan threw a hissy fit against these ambassadors because they spoke up in favor of human rights, in favor of the rule of law, in favor of Osman Kavala. RT to join the ambassadors’ call to FreeOsmanKavala.

Well done

There are only two options: First option is the ambassadors will declare their official apologies; second option is they will go to their country from Turkey and go into politics. Turkey is a honorable country and will be remain so forever.

They don't care Turkey ornher democracy.All are following their interest. Why they didn't say to Dictator Sisi who killed thousands? Instead doing full cooperation

This is the Republic of Turkey, everyone will know their place!

Good job Mr Erdogan! Excellent decision. MFATurkey Turkey_UN

Good job Erdogan!

Well done Erdoğan. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻It's the biggest own goal in the history of diplomacy. But what I'm saying, don't think he has any clue of real diplomacy.

Well Done Turkey Erdogan

Bravo !

Nice Move Baba RTErdogan we already saw how much a LIER and SHAMELESS they are! we stand with you.

Good job we ethiopians stand with Turkey's

He was never mentally sane but he is gone totally crazy now.

Western powers need subservient Muslim nations - they cannot abide a nation which protects its own sovereignty and does its own thing…. Western powers run rampant around the world - kill thousands at a whim and its ok

Congratulations Erdogan. The arrogant statement of ambassadors against an independent country was already unacceptable.

Well done . They deserved it. They were after their dog funded by them and soros . As usual, typical words ‘human rights ‘ :)

Viva Turkey 🇹🇷

That's fine. EU should immediately cancel all talks about a Turkey EU membership and start an EU defence alliance independent of NATO. If NATO can survive with the current standpoints of US and Turkey (and UK ?) is to be seen but chances are odd ... EU, act now !
