Paragraph 25
 

Pursuant to the applicable legislation, the debates were broadcast live on TRT-3 TV channel and on the internet from 2 pm to 7 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. According to the Turkish authorities, after 7 pm the debates were broadcast live on internet. Although these are the ordinary broadcasting rules for parliamentary debates, the time slot of live TV broadcasting should have been extended due to the importance of the matter and to the continuation of the debates all night.
