discrimination to ethnic and religious minorities, as well as
liquidating Article 301, Turkish Criminal Code.
To recap, after the murder of editor-in-chief of Agos newspaper,
Hrant Dink, Joseph Biden proposed adopting a bill condemning Hrant
Dink's murder, by which he called Turkey for reconsidering Article
