TURKEY-ITALY: COOPERATION WITH CARABINIERI ON HUMAN RIGHT


(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, MAY 23 - Italy's carabinieri and Spain's Guardia Civil flanking the Turkish gendarmerie. The support to the development of the Turkish public administration is boosted with the twinning between the forces in terms of protection of human rights. The strong point of the Italian proposal was no doubt the international experience gained in the past by the Arma dei Carabinieri with other national and foreign institutions, as well as the proven specialisation of other institutions involved, including the presidency of the council of ministers, the Sant'Anna University of Pisa and Studiare e Sviluppo, which will be involved in various activities of training and administrative support in the field of judiciary. The administration twinning 'Training of Gendarmerie Officers on European Human Right Standards' is part of a broader process of democratization of the Turkish institutions required by the European Commission as part of the route to EU accession. The initiative consists mainly of activities of institutional cooperation and training of administration, regulation, operational and technical character in favour of the Turksish gendarmerie, which has considerable organisational and managerial similarities both with the Carabinieri and with the Spanish Guardia Civil.
