#1 There is also to be an increase in the sentence of public employees found guilty of torture. . . If the torture resulted in death the sentence would be life imprisonment.

In the 21st century, Turkey joins the 20th.

#4 Has anyone considered setting up a posting thread for Ari and Murat to weigh in on. That might be a real kick. Do they hate us worse than they hate each other?

#5 Do they hate us worse than they hate each other?

Though I strongly dislike *some* of you (like .com, B, Raj, possibly a few others), I'm not interested enough to call it "hatred".

And I hate neither Murat nor Turkey. Indeed in this forum, I've often come to Turkey's defense, especially regarding her progress in this last few years -- some people here, only interested in how much useful to America Turkey is, have often commented how much Turkey has supposedly worsened in the last years. Because, you see, the Turkish generals don't overthrow governments so much nowadays as they did a couple years back.

Me, who am more interested in things like human rights and democracy, have commented that she has been improving -- a thing I attribute to a large extent to EU's influence.
