In the Country Report of Turkey presented to the Committee in 2015, the paragraphs 32, 38, 48, 51, 53, 54, 56, 59, 62, 69, 70, 76, 77, 78, 95, 96, 98, 104, 114, 116, 118, 122, 150, 152, 158, 159, 205, 245, 256, 281, 289, 292, 294, 298, 314, 318, 219, 328 include expressions “envisaged”, “planned”, “aimed”, “carry out”. In this respect, the report appears to be a declaration of intention instead of a country report.4 Moreover, in “Replies of Turkey to the list of issues” in response to the questions of the Committee, it is stated that the insulting words have been amended from the Turkish legislation. Yet, in the Civil Code (No: 4721), which is one of the most important laws still contains the term “mental weakness”.5 This report includes reviews and suggestions with respect to the Article 5 Equality and NonDiscrimination, Article 12 Equal Recognition Before the Law, Article 13 Access to Justice, Article 29 Participation in Political and Public Life and Article 31 Statistics and Data Collection. These headings have been chosen in direct connection to AMER’s area of work as well as data and experience collected through various projects, pertaining to the time period in which the reporting takes place. 4 Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Initial report submitted by Turkey under article 35 of the Convention, due in 2011, (CRPD/C/TUR/1). https://undocs.org/CRPD/C/TUR/1 5 http://www.mevzuat.gov.tr/MevzuatMetin/1.5.4721.pdf 8
