Main opposition CHP revises program at congress

At its 14th congress in Ankara over the weekend, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) worked on changes to the party's program and bylaws. At the congress, CHP's leader Deniz Baykal criticized Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan recent statement saying that a newspaper should report the news correctly or it would be closed down. "Will he (Erdogan) set the criteria for closing down papers?" Baykal asked. "Just closing a paper won't end his annoyance. If he can, he'll establish a media monopoly." Baykal also criticized corruption as well as a recent initiative to apologize for the World War I-era killings of Armenians at the hands of the Ottomans.
