message: :Image:ConstitutionalCourtTurkeySeal.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It is notable that Turkey's government is considered an "illiberal democracy" (as opposed to an advanced democracy) or a 'hybrid regime' according to The Economist Intelligence Unit’s index of democracy(http://www.economist.com/media/pdf/DEMOCRACY_INDEX_2007_v3.pdf), in large part because of the human rights (of minorities), civil liberties ('anti-turkishness' law, burka and beard bans-those who have them are second class citizens) and other issues.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.14.37 (talk) 23:19, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

message: :The Turkish constitutional principle of not allowing the teaching of other languages as first languages in schools to its citizens, other than the official one, is similar to the policies of Germany, France and Austria, all members of the European Union. It contains explicit requirements in the field of education.
Unfortunately this does not hold, if one checks List of official languages by state, there's more than one official language in Austria, and Germany has no official language!
Going further, there's European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, ratified by almost all European countries, notably not by Turkey. Turkish language policy is similar only to French, promoting only one official language.
