Turkish Media against Article 301
The Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code is incorrect and should be amended, Nursun Erel, a political observer of The New Anatolian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In her words, Turkish media stands against the Article and presses for its cancellation or at least alteration of the chapter penalizing 'insulting Turkishness'. "The Turkish government faces difficulties under the pressure of media and EU to amend or cancel Article 301 of the Penal Code. I hope we will succeed.
It's impossible to write about serious things if the Article is not amended. For most part the matter concerns the Armenian Genocide, The New Anatolian observer said.
