<p>We have taken note of the report by the EU-Turkey Civil Commission and its concerns.
The European Court of Human Rights is heavily engaged on issues related to Turkey,
which accounts for 20% of its pending cases. The Committee for the Prevention of Torture
is also very engaged on Turkey and visited the country twice in 2016. We continue
to urge the Turkish authorities to engage with the Council of Europe and other human
rights mechanisms to address international concerns about human rights in Turkey.</p>
