/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code is
incorrect and should be amended, Nursun Erel, a political observer
of The New Anatolian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In her
words, Turkish media stands against the Article and presses for
its cancellation or at least alteration of the chapter penalizing
‘insulting Turkishness’. "The Turkish government faces difficulties
under the pressure of media and EU to amend or cancel Article 301
of the Penal Code. I hope we will succeed. It’s impossible to write
about serious things if the Article is not amended. For most part the
matter concerns the Armenian Genocide, The New Anatolian observer said.
