He pointed out that there are thousands of victims who are afraid to cooperate with him in order to avoid the possibility of imposing more arbitrary measures against them at the hands of the authorities of the Turkish regime.
Lanott added that the International Criminal Court in The Hague was established to try those accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, noting that there are many in Turkey who could face charges of crimes against humanity under the rule of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
