SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 17 – In the UN on
May 18, Turkey's foreign
minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu's
meeting were full of
mis-statements and craven
corrections.
US
Secretary of State Antony
Blinken called Çavuşoğlu the
Turkish "prime minister,"
giving rise to a correction
that highlighted what had been
mis-said.
Not so the
United Nations, which
trafficks in collusion and
censorship, banning
Inner City Press and refusing
all of its written questions
including this
one.
The UN
posted this: "Readout of the
Secretary-General’s meeting
with H.E.
Mr. Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Minister
for Foreign Affairs of the
Republic of
Turkey
The Secretary-General met
today with H.E. Mr. Mevlüt
Çavuşoğlu, Minister for
Foreign Affairs of the
Republic of
Turkey.
The Secretary-General
expressed appreciation for
Turkey’s support to
multilateralism and
contributions to the United
Nations. The Secretary-General
and the Foreign Minister also
exchanged views on the war in
Ukraine and other regional
developments. They also
discussed developments related
to Syria, Libya, Afghanistan
as well as
Cyprus.
New York, 18 May
2022."
Then, at
1:07 pm, the UN alerted: "The
readout concerning the
Secretary-General’s meeting
with the Turkish Foreign
Minister is being
recalled. A revised text
will come out shortly.
We apologise for the error."

Apologize to whom?
Apparently, to Turkey. Because
despite the "will come out
shortly" reference, four hours
later and counting, nothing.
UNSG Antonio Guterres emulates
and does not want to anger
strongmen, whether in Moscow
or Istanbul, even Yaounde.
Today's UN is
corrupt, and continues to ban
the Press that asks questions.
And the US Mission, and
Blinken, have done nothing
about it. Watch this site.
