Yurdatapans Document Quest Continues
After receiving a response from the Council telling him the document is "secret," Yurdatapan sent in another inquiry, asking why the document is secret.
Now, Yurdatapan, who hasn't received a satisfactory response to his objection, applied to the Evaluation Board for Obtaining Information at the Prime Ministry.
"I received a crammed response made up of many sentences which don't answer my question," said Yurdatapan, adding that he will continue to make use of his legal right to obtain information. The human rights activist plans to apply to Turkey's top administrative court if he doesn't get a satisfactory response from the Evaluation Board either.
"I just can't accept to be the citizen of a country ruled by secret orders instead of a coherent legal system," said Yurdatapan.
He called on those who agree with him to make use of their rights. "I am calling on them to contribute to efforts to have Turkey adopt a transparent regime," he told bianet.
Those interested in obtaining information may apply by clicking on the "form to obtain information for individuals," through the "Obtaining Information" link on www.mgk.gov.tr. They may also send a fax to the number provided on the Web site. (EO/BB/EA/YE)
