ANKARA - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday "return home law" --Article 211 of Turkish Penal Code (TCK)-- is still in force when he replied to a question after a meeting in Ankara.
Asked whether there has been a preparation on "return home law", Erdogan said, "I did not say that works continue on this article. I said that we could reform it. It means that those on the mountains, who have not been involved in any crime, can return home."
"We will do whatever is necessary in the legal framework. Article 221 ... is still in force, we could make the law more flexible, we could reform it," Erdogan told reporters.
