Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius was the first government official from an EU and NATO country to visit Turkey after a failed coup in July. Many Western countries have criticized the Turkish government for measures it took against alleged supporters of the coup, but Linkevičius says one needs to engage with Ankara in language other than lecturing.
