"Je NE Suis PAS Charlie" Davutoğlu attempts to ban Turkish reporter from covering his speech in Berlin. (TodaysZaman).

Two days after attending a march in Paris to support press freedoms, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu attempted to stop a reporter from Turkey's Zaman newspaper, which is critical of the government, from covering a speech.

In Berlin, A Zaman reporter was not allowed to cover Davutoğlu's speech at the Körber Foundation in Berlin. After a complaint, the foundation officials and the German police helped the reporter enter the building and cover the prime minister's speech.

When asked about the Dec. 14 operation against media outlets by a German participant, Davutoğlu claimed that Turks enjoy press freedoms at home. He added that his government is ready for all kinds of criticisms. Hmmmmm.......Yeah sure and crows wear stiletto heels in Turkey. Read the full story here.
