Below you can find the link to the above titled article from the BBC.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6272294.stm
What I would like to comment on is the following paragraphs.
Quote:
Turkey introduced a series of sweeping changes several years ago to the country's penal code, intended to bring Turkish laws closer to those of EU member states.
The only sweeping these changes seem to have done is the floor, since even though the penal code has changed, the penalizers have remained the same.
Quote: Torture was abolished and individual liberties expanded under the reforms.
I guess this is one of those 'many significant concessions that we <Turkey> have made in our bid to join the EU and got nothing in return'.
Good job! Keep it up boys! |
