The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday decided to reopen political monitoring  of Turkey “until its concerns are addressed in a satisfactory manner.”

The assembly gathered Tuesday in Strasbourg in a session to discuss a report titled “The functioning of democratic institutions in Turkey,” during which 113 voted in favor, while 45 voted against the monitoring decision.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry has harshly criticized PACE’s decision.
