Turkey: Officials Try to Shut Down Rights Group
(New York, September 27, 2005)?The threat by Turkish officials to close down an organization defending lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people's rights violates basic freedoms of association and expression, Human Rights Watch said today.
Selahattin Ekremoglu, deputy governor of the Turkish capital Ankara, on September 15 wrote a letter to the gay and lesbian group Kaos GL that said a court procedure had been opened to dissolve the organization. He claimed that the name and regulations of the group violated a provision in the Turkish Civil Code that forbids "establishing any organization that is against the laws and principles of morality."

Exactly the reason why they should not even be considered to be part of the EU.
What's even more funny that in our country a lot of pepple talk shit about Turkish people, but in the summer they do go on holiday to Turkey because its cheap.
I do not go to Turkey because I don't like the type of people, period.
