After 69 articles of “Omnibus Internal Security Bill” were published within the Official Gazette on April 4th 2015, withdrawn articles number 68 to 130 in 4th and 5th chapters of the draft bill faded from the public agenda. Since the ratification of 69 articles of the bill, the withdrawn articles were no more attractive in Turkey. It should not be forgotten that those removed articles were also constituted by legislative bodies, heavily argued by civil society and approved by  Turkish Parliament’s EU Harmonization Commission and planned to be included in future regulations.
