The Turkish Parliament passed a bill Friday, July 28, stipulating changes in the body’s internal rules of procedure, Diken reports. According to the bill, lawmakers are banned from mentioning the Armenian Genocide in Parliament. The right-wing Justice and Development Party (AKP) and far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) voted in favor of the bill, while the opposition parties voted against it.
