01.02.2007 17:50 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Of course, the revision of 301st article is a
positive step in Turkey's European integration way, stated director of
Caucasian Media Institute, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan
during an interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist.
He stressed that 301st article is rather tough and foresees criminal
punishment from 6 months up to 2 years not only for `insulting Turkish
national identity', but also for insulting the state, parliament,
government, army and security services.
`It is the relic of Kemalism, which badly reflects on Turkey's
international image. If you remember, some changes were initiated by
EU's demand in 2002. The fact that demonstrations are being carried
out in Turkey for the favor to make amendments or fully cancel the
301st article, we only can welcome,' stated the director of Caucasian
Media Institute.
