The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has called on the Turkish authorities to eliminate references in official documents suggesting that calls for troop withdrawal from Cyprus or claims that Armenians were subject to a genocide in 1915 should be treated as crimes, the Turkish Daily News reported. References to Cyprus and Armenian issues are found in an explanatory document accompanying Article 305 of the Turkish Penal Code, which regulates “offenses against national interests.” OSCE representative on freedom of the media Miklos Haraszti said that reforms in the penal code were generally welcomed but complained that there were still some worrying provisions in it, calling for the removal of two articles in order to further expand freedom of speech in Turkey
