Cavusoglu: US ambassador meeting with Turkish opposition candidate unacceptable

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Wednesday a meeting that US Ambassador Jeff Flake had with the main opposition presidential candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu was unacceptable.

Speaking in Brussels following a NATO meeting where the alliance welcomed Finland to the bloc, Cavusoglu said the ambassador’s meeting was contrary to diplomatic practice as Turkey faces elections in less than two months. [Reuters]
