Turkish social services file complaint against UK's Duchess of York

Ferguson went undercover earlier this month to expose the abuse of children in two state-run orphanages in Ankara and Istanbul.

At the time, Ankara had conveyed its uneasiness on the issue to London in writing, saying it objected to the method, not the content.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said the whole process in which the images from the documentary were filmed was unacceptable, objecting to the "undercover methodology" of the documentary, which one government official said could "impact on our image in Europe".

The program, called "Duchess and Daughters: Their Secret Mission" aired in Britain on ITV1 earlier this month and coincided with the release of the EU’s annual report on Turkey’s progress on reforms needed to join the EU. Â
