The ruling Turkish Justice and Development Party (AKP) will sue the U.S. diplomats mentioned in the correspondence recently leaked by WikiLeaks, CNN Turk reported.
Roughly 8,000 files of the 250,000 documents leaked by WikiLeaks pertain to Turkey.
The AKP accuses the diplomats of slandering Turkish politicians.
The decision was to initiate proceedings against the U.S. diplomats for their remarks against Turkish politicians at the meeting of the AKP Executive Committee last night. The meeting was held upon the request of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who heads the party.
