<p>We continue to monitor these specific cases and regularly underline the importance
of freedom of expression and all fundamental freedoms as part of our broader dialogue
with the Turkish government. Our Ambassador in Ankara highlighted his concerns about
the number of journalists detained in Turkey, including Mr Dündar and Mr Gül, in his
public blog released on International Human Rights day. We welcomed the EU Commission’s
Annual Progress Report on Turkey, released on 10 November, which highlighted the need
for further reforms from Turkey in these areas. Freedom of expression must be respected
and all media outlets must be allowed to report freely without intimidation.</p>
