    At a press conference, Oktay Vural, Vice-Chairman of the Nationalist
    Movement parliamentary faction, was severely critical of the
    constitutional amendments proposed by Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Erdogan. He claimed the draft amendments contain anti-Turkish elements.

    The Haberfax news website reports that the nationalist believes the
    draft amendments actually recognize the Armenian Genocide and provide
    for the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Cyprus.

    NEWS.am reminds readers that the Justice and Development Party,
    Turkey's ruling party, drafted 29 amendments to the country's
    constitution, which was adopted after military coup on September 12,
    1980. The amendments provides for judicial reforms, particularly
    reforms of the Constitutional Court and Supreme Council of Judges and
    Public Prosecutors. The amendments also provide for the institution of
    criminal proceedings against the military by civil judicial bodies,
    a trial of the military coup organizers. The amendments transfer the
    right to initiate proceedings on dissolution of political parties
    from the Curt of Cassation to Parliament. The draft also institutes
    the post of ombudsman and grants civil servants the right to sign
    collective contacts and hold strikes.
