In respect of "women-men equality and strengthening of woman rights," which was one of the two additional requirements of the EU, the government will convene the Parliament for an extraordinary meeting and ensure the adoption of Turkish Penal Code in September.
The EU Commission will announce its progress report, which will affect to a great extent the decision to be rendered in December in respect of starting membership negotiations, on October 6. It was declared that in this report, "women-men equality and return to villages evacuated in the Southeast" would be provided as additional requirements.
Parliament will convene on September 14 for an extraordinary session, to tackle the new TCK motion.
