CICEK: `ARTICLE 301 COULD BE CHANGED IF NECESSARY, BUT IT'S NOT A
PRIORITY'
Speaking at a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party
(AKP) yesterday, Justice Minister Cemil Cicek said that Turkish Penal
Code (TCK) Article 301 could be changed if necessary, but that the
issue wasn't a priority for Ankara. `This law went into effect in
2005,' said Cicek. `We didn't say that it couldn't be changed.' Cicek
further stressed that while some people want Article 301 to remain,
others want to abolish or change it, adding that people should
clearly share their views on the issue with the government.
