Thursday, April 24th, 2008

The Government today announced the long awaited draft state secrey law which will introduce a State Secrecy Council with regards to official documents containing state secrets. I have the draft law in Turkish and will provide a summary as soon as I digest it. The government also announced another long awaited draft law on data protection. Sadly, no one noticed and this has not hit the news today.
