Media freedom non-negotiable for European identity’

President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz urged that freedom of media is negotiable for European identity, amid Turkey-EU migrant summit held in Brussels.

“I had a very open exchange with the prime minister who disagreed with my view… I insisted that for the European Parliament, that for the EU freedom of media is a key element of our European identity… I took note of the explanation of the prime minister” Schulz said after his meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.

“Freedom of the media … is a non-negotiable element of our European identity” he said.

“We have a need for Turkey that goes beyond political controversies” Schulz urged.
