  2. Can Turkey recognize its past crime?

  3. Honor killings, human rights... "In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been brutally murdered by family members". “Hatun Sürücü was murdered by her brother for not staying with the husband she was forced to marry, and of "living like a German" ” 2005 Der Spiegel “Precise statistics on how many women die every year in such honor killings are hard to come by, as many crimes are never reported, said MyriaBoehmecke of the Tuebingen-based women's group Terre des Femmes which, among other things, tries to protect Muslim girls and women from oppressive families. The Turkish women's organization Papatya has documented 40 instances of honor killings in Germany since 1996”...

  4. Archaic / reactionary behaviours June 2008 report The hole where Medine Memi was buried by her relatives in the courtyard of their house in Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey;   Feb. 2010. Turkish Prime Ministry's Human Rights Directorate “In Istanbul alone there is one honour killing every week, and the UN reported over 5,000 during the previous five years” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/women-told-you-have-dishonoured-your-family-please-kill-yourself-1655373.html

  5. “Two Northern Irish women found dead in Turkey” “Two middle aged women from Co Down, Northern Ireland, are found stabbed to death in a forest near the city of Izmir in western Turkey. It's believed a 17-year-old Turkish man murdered the two women after Ms Graham refused permission for him to marry her daughter”. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ August, 19th 2011

  6. Kurdish traditions... Ahmet Yildiz, 26, a Turkish physics student who represented his country at an international gay gathering in the United States in 2008, was shot leaving a cafe in Istanbul. A 16-year-old Kurdish girl was buried alive by relatives in southeastern Turkey in a gruesome honor killing carried out because she reportedly befriended boys, the Anatolia news agency reported in Feb. 2010.

  7. Article 301is a controversial article of the Turkish Penal Code making it illegal to insult Turkey, the Turkish ethnicity, or Turkish government institutions. It took effect on June 1, 2005, and was introduced as part of a package of penal-law reform in the process preceding the opening of negotiations for Turkish membership of the EU, in order to bring Turkey up to the Union standards. The original version of the article made it a crime to "insult Turkishness"; on April 30, 2008, the article was amended to change "Turkishness" into "the Turkish nation". Compatible nationalism? Protest for free speech and against Article 301 in front of the Turkish Embassy in Germany. The banner reads "Do away with the Article of Shame".
