EUobserver.com"Turkey postpones enforcement of its penal code because of technical reasons

Mr Gul explained the government wanted to answer questions coming from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). But the media have also raised concerns about the freedom of press in the past few weeks.
There are concerns that some of the new measures on freedom of expression and of the press were more restrictive than the ones they were supposed to improve, according to the Financial Times. The new code initially planned to come into force today, will not be enforced before 1 June, giving the government a re-evaluation period."
