Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

However, it has not completed domestic procedures necessary to implement the Process' certification scheme, which may require a Council of Ministers decree or new legislation. Neither measure will be implemented before the July 31 end of the "period of tolerance". Econoff encouraged Karakas to communicate Turkey's intentions to the Kimberley Process Chair, and Karakas agreed to do this. Deutsch
