The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on Wednesday added itself to a rising number of European voices expressing alarm at a record fine levied against Turkey's largest media corporation.
The Turkish government last week determined to fine Dogan Holding $2.5 billion for alleged unpaid back taxes.
"The amount of penalties levied upon the Dogan Group is unparalleled and alarming," wrote Miklos Haraszti, the OSCE's media freedom representative, in a letter to Turkey's foreign minister Wednesday.
The OSCE is the world's largest security-focused intra-governmental organization, with a permission that includes conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict remedy.
