[Scotland’s First Minister has defended
inviting the Turkish president to visit
as he said both countries are
“on a journey” regarding human rights.
Humza Yousaf briefly met Recep Tayyip Erdogan during
the Cop28 UN climate summit in Dubai
last year – drawing the ire of the Foreign Office
due to a UK official not being present.

Minutes of the meeting given to the Herald
under freedom of information legislation show
the First Minister “invited RTE to visit Scotland
during a future visit to the UK”.
At the time, the meeting drew criticism from
within the First Minister’s own party,
with SNP councillor Roza Salih saying
she “did not expect this from a FM that
says he respects human rights” over
Turkey’s treatment of Kurds.

Speaking to journalists after
First Minister’s Questions on Thursday,
Mr Yousaf defended the invitation.]




That Turkish leader backs Hamas.


What a stink.

Erdogan has no idea what a Scotland is. He would be so disappointed if he arrives and realises what he has agreed to haha

The hell?

The only direction human rights in the UK can go is down. Especially if islam is involved.

What's he cacking on about? What progress does he think Scotland needs to make in regards to human rights?
