'Some stories will have a detrimental influence on the minds of those under the age of 18,' the Turkish government says about the million-selling book.

Turkey has ruled that million-selling bookshould be partially banned and treated like pornography because it could have a"detrimental influence" on young people.

But in a decision published last week, the Turkish government's board for the protection of minors from obscene publications said:"Some of the writings in the book will have a detrimental influence on the minds of those under the age of 18."Speaking to AFP on Friday, October 4, one of the authors, US-based Francesca Cavallo, said she was saddened by the decision.

"When a government is scared by a children's book promoting equality, that means that promoting these messages through children's literature can have and is having an impact, and it makes me even more motivated to keep fighting every day." The only difficulty it has faced up to now was Russia's decision to censor the story of a transgender girl that is one of the profiles in the book, Cavallo said.
