"Considering the Fate of the AKP
Filed under: Turkey â" Benjamin on April 9, 2008 @ 10:38 pm CEST
The drama surrounding the potential closure of the ruling AKP party acquired a significant nuance with the decision of Standard & Poorâs to cut Turkeyâs credit rating to three increments below investment grade (BB-) last week. The credit agency attributed its sudden decision to âthe increasingly challenging political and global environment that Turkey faces in the near termâ. Moodyâs, on the contrary, has decided to keep its rating unchanged, choosing to focus on more fiscal factors for its credit appraisal."

The clause, which is the point at issue, is unnecessarily restrictive on 'freedom of expression' in Turkey. The government was also aware of this situation, but since they were ruling country with a mind bound to democracy as only a word, they were not concerned with expanding freedom of expression."
