ANKARA - Turkey’s parliament passed a law on Saturday on changing the structure of bar associations, a move that lawyers argue will further undermine judicial independence in a country where they say the judiciary is already in disarray.

The legislation allows multiple bar associations to be formed in each province, in place of the current system where each province has a single association, diluting the institutions’ power. These associations say the judicial system has descended into chaos in recent years with lawyers jailed, defences muzzled and confidence in judges and prosecutors destroyed.

Big deal, where’s the real story?

This thing is actually not important. Hagia Sophia is just a big historical religious building. It's not important holy place for both Catholic people and Muslim. Museum, Mosque, or Cathedral doesn't change much thing to both religion though.

This is real news. Thx Reuters
