Two important U.S. NATO allies on Thursday condemned the CIA’s harsh treatment of terrorist suspects detailed in a report this week, but praised the decision to make the Senate investigation public.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, whose country is in a strategically critical location between Europe and the Mideast, told reporters in Ankara the report is being analyzed to determine whether any Turkish citizens were involved.

From what has already been read, however “we see that there was inhumane and really unacceptable torture and treatment,” he said.

The Senate intelligence committee’s 500-page report concluded that the CIA inflicted suffering on al-Qaida prisoners beyond its legal authority and that none of the agency’s “enhanced interrogations” provided critical, life-saving intelligence. It cited the CIA’s own records, documenting in detail how waterboarding and other techniques were employed.

“I hope our friend and ally, the United States, won’t repeat these kinds of actions, that inhumane acts are not repeated,” Cavusoglu said.

Speaking alongside Cavusoglu, Slovakian Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak said the use of illegal camps and “unacceptable methods of interrogation” detailed in the report had been known, but he welcomed the report’s publication.

“I see it as a sign of the United States distancing themselves from these practices of the past,” he said. “And it should also serve as a guarantee that things like that will never happen in the future.”

U.N. officials on Wednesday called for the prosecution of the senior U.S. officials and CIA agents who authorized or carried out torture.

French far right leader Marine Le Pen, meantime, drew anger by saying on BFM television Wednesday that she “did not condemn” the CIA’s methods. “I believe that those people who are dealing with terrorists, and trying to get information out of them that helps save civilian lives, are responsible people,” she said.

Le Pen, who wants to be president and whose National Front party has made big electoral gains this year, quickly backtracked, saying she meant authorities should use all means against terrorism “under the law, obviously not torture.”

Relishing an opportunity to turn the tables on the U.S., Russia says the Senate’s investigation into the CIA torture practices has highlighted rampant rights abuse.

The Foreign Ministry’s rights envoy, Konstantin Dolgov, said in Thursday’s statement that the evidence contained in the report “contradict the U.S. aspirations to serve as a model of democracy.”

Dolgov says the report has proven “flagrant and systemic rights abuse” and pointed that only an executive summary of the 6,700-page report was released. He urged international organizations and rights groups to urge the release of full report and the prosecution of those involved in abuses.

The Russian statement, which comes amid U.S.-Russian tensions over Ukraine, marked an attempt by Moscow to turn the tables on continuous Western criticism of Russia’s rights abuses.
