    SUBJECT: TIP IN TURKEY: MFA REPORTS INTERIM PROGRESS

    (U) In response to our September 16 request for information
    about ongoing GOT anti-TIP efforts, the Turkish MFA Consular
    Affairs Directorate provided the following diplomatic note
    dated November 18, 2004:

    BEGIN TEXT OF DIPNOTE:

    Reply to the Information Request for
    2004 Interim Trafficking in Persons Watch List Report

    PREVENTION:

          ¶1. The National Task Force on Combating Trafficking in
    Human Beings, established in October 2002, held its 7th
    meeting on November 3, 2004, under the chairmanship of
    Ambassador Mr. Murat Ersavci, the D.G. of Consular and Social
    Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    The representatives participating in Task Force meetings may
    vary according to the issues discussed.  However,
    representatives from the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of
    Justice, Ministry of Labor and Social Security, Ministry of
    Finance, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Culture and Tourism,
    Ministry of Transport, Human Rights Presidency of the Prime
    Minister's Office, Prime Ministry State Planning
    Organization, Directorate General of the Status of Women,
    Directorate General of Social Services and Protection of
    Children, Social Aid and Solidarity Fund of Prime Ministry,
    Presidency of Telecommunications Board and Human Resources
    Development Foundation attended the last meeting of the Task
    Force.

    The National Action Plan, prepared by the Task Force, set out
    specific commitments for competent authorities on the fight
    against TIP and assistance to TIP victims.

    -- As a result of the consultations between Istanbul
    Metropolitan Municipality and the Human Resources Development
    Foundation (HRDF) under the guidance of the Ministry of
    Foreign Affairs, a shelter in Istanbul was provided for the
    victims of trafficking.  A protocol on the establishment of
    the shelter was signed between Istanbul Metropolitan
    Municipality and HRDF during the NATO Summit, on June 29th,
    2004, with the participation of Minister of Foreign Affairs
    and Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Gul and United States
    Secretary of State Colin Powell.

    SIPDIS

    -- The new Penal Code that was adopted by the Turkish Grand
    National Assembly on September 26th, 2004, places a special
    emphasis on human trafficking and migrant smuggling.  In this
    respect, it introduces an important provision (Article 80)
    bringing penalties 8 to 12 years imprisonment and fines
    corresponding to a maximum period of ten thousand days
    imprisonment for human traffickers.  The new article 80 which
    will become effective April 1st, 2005, also introduces safety
    measures for legal entities involved in human trafficking.

    -- A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Belarus in
    July 2004 and became effective as of September 24, 2004.

    -- Turkey has initiated the procedure for membership in the
    International Organization for Migration (IOM).  The
    Constitution of the IOM was positively evaluated in the
    Commissions of the Parliament and forwarded to the Turkish
    Grand National Assembly, which is expected to be ratified in
    the last week of November 2004.

    -- An agreement has been signed between the Gendarmerie and
    HRDF to collaborate in anti-trafficking issues on June 14,
    ¶2004.

    -- With the funding of Catholic Relief Services/Bulgaria,
    HRDF conducted a survey in border cities, Haskovo and
    Svelingrad to assess the status of trafficked girls and
    women.  In this connection, a regional meeting was held in
    Istanbul on 16-17 September 2004, with the participation of
    law enforcement agencies and NGOs from Romania, Moldova,
    Bulgaria and Turkey.

    -- A regional conference on &Migrants in Transit Countries:
    Sharing Responsibility for Management and Protection8 was
    organized by Council of Europe, under the chairmanship and
    hosting of Turkey, on 30 September)1 October 2004 in
    Istanbul.  Human trafficking was one of the main issues
    discussed in the said conference.

          ¶2.  In the National Action Plan on Combating
    Trafficking in Human Beings, establishment of a hotline for
    the victims is mentioned.  The Ministry has contacted with
    the national Telecom Company and the National
    Telecommunication Board, to this end.

    On the other hand, establishment of a three-digit toll free
    hotline for the victims is a complicated procedure while
    servers have to be placed in every city in order to serve
    nationwide.

    In this regard, it is assessed that a more convenient and a
    quick way is to establish a hotline starting with &08008
    which will be free of charge for the caller.  We are exerting
    intensified efforts to establish this hotline and the Human
    Resources Development Foundation has applied to the national
    Telecom Company in order to get this line for itself.  The
    switchboard will be located at the said foundation and will
    be available for 24 hours.

    However, the charges have to be paid by the HRDF.  Within
    this framework, we are discussing this issue with IOM in
    order to cover the expenses of the hotline in accordance with
    the pilot project for assisting victims of trafficking in
    human beings.

    Moreover, until this hotline is operational, the national
    hotline for police (155) has been extended to be available
    for the victims of trafficking in human beings.  To this end,
    Ministry of Interior will train and appoint personnel able to
    speak Russian and English.

          ¶3.  Turkish media is sensitive to criminal and
    humanitarian aspects of trafficking in human beings.
    Trafficking cases and international developments are reported
    widely in the media.

    The statements made in the two panels organized by the
    Directorate General of the Status of Woman, in 2002 and 2003,
    were published as a book and distributed countrywide.  The
    book is enclosed herewith for the Embassy's information.

    Anti-TIP information is going to be implemented with the
    cooperation of IOM.  In this regard, IOM has prepared a draft
    project, which will be broadcasted in the Turkish National TV
    Channel (TRT).  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also in
    contact with TRT in order to support this initiative.

    INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF TRAFFICKERS

          ¶4.  The special questionnaires, sent to courts
    nationwide, have been processed by General Directorate of
    Judicial Records and Statistics in the Ministry of Justice.
    The 41,000 forms of data on Article 201/b (human trafficking)
    are being processed for 3 months periods.  The data process
    for July-August-September period hasn't been completed yet.

    However, according to Article 201/b (human trafficking) of
    the TPC the final processed data regarding the cases that
    were transferred to the criminal courts and concluded within
    the first half of the year 2004, is as follows:  12 lawsuits
    were concluded.  In two of these cases 7 accused persons were
    confined to imprisonment or fined.

          ¶5.  Yalova Criminal Court issued verdict (according to
    Article 201/b of the TPC) for five defendants on February 11,
    2004, four of whom have been confined to imprisonment of 4
    years and 2 months and a fine of 1,325,000,000 TL.  The
    accused persons are prohibited from employment in public
    services for 3 years.

    Fethiye Criminal Court issued verdicts (according to article
    021/b of the TPC) for three defendants on May 12, 2004.
    According to the verdict, three defendants have been confined
    to imprisonment of 4 years, 10 months and 10 days and a fine
    of 972,221,000 TL.

          ¶6.  There are no government officials involved in
    trafficking during the first half of the year 2004.

    PROTECTION AND ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS

          ¶7.  The Government of Turkey is not only participating
    but also co-funding the project on &Establishment of the
    Network of and Joint Training for Operational Law Enforcement
    Officers, NGOs and International Organizations in Fighting
    Human Trafficking8 which is implemented by IOM, in
    cooperation with the European Commission (EC), European
    Parliament (EP), selected EU member states, as well as
    candidate countries and third countries bordering the
    enlarged European Union under the European Commission
    Directorate General Justice and Home Affairs, AGIS Program.

    Turkey has made a contribution of 10,000 USD to this project.

    Turkey has also contributed (5,000 Euro) in the budget of the
    Budapest Process, aimed at preventing irregular migration and
    trafficking in human beings with the participation of more
    than 40 Governments.

          ¶8.  The Turkish missions abroad are being informed on
    the developments regarding TIP issue regularly.  Moreover,
    they are urged to cooperate with especially IOM and other
    predominant international organizations in this matter.
    Furthermore, representatives in the missions participate in
    various seminars and meetings, which are organized by NGOs
    and international organizations.  For instance, Ambassador of
    Turkey in Moldova has delivered a speech at the first round
    of meetings titled &Trafficking As It Is8 organized by the
    IOM office in Moldova, on October 26th, 2004.

    On the other hand, Turkish Permanent Delegation to the UN
    Office in Geneva has close contacts with the IOM Headquarters.
          ¶9.  Since June 2004, 7 victims of trafficking (3
    Ukrainian nationals have stayed on 1-3 November and
    voluntarily returned to their countries of origin.  As of
    today, 2 Moldovan, 1 Iranian and 1 Azeri women are staying at
    the shelter) have been hosted in the shelter designated for
    the victims of trafficking.  Human Resources Development
    Foundation (HRDF) psychotherapist has been seeing the victims
    since June 2004 to assess their situation and also support
    those who need psychological assistance.  The reports of the
    psychotherapist are shared with IOM.

    On the other hand, as of April 2004, HRDF took part in the
    assistance of 25 victims of trafficking (9 Moldovan, 6
    Romanian, 3 Azeri, 3 Ukrainian, 2 Russian, 1 Armenian and 1
    Iranian).

    Furthermore, assisted voluntary returns of 51 victims of
    trafficking in human beings have been successfully conducted
    in cooperation with IOM and Human Resources Development
    Foundation (HRDF) up to November 2004.  Among them there
    were, 29 Moldovan, 10 Ukrainian, 2 from Azerbaijan, 1 from
    Belarus, 6 Romanian, 1 Russian, 1 Uzbek and 1 from Kazakhstan.

          ¶10.  Up to November 2004, 51 victims have been assisted
    for voluntary return and 7 of the victims have been hosted in
    the shelter.  In total, 58 victims have been assisted.

    Twenty-six humanitarian visas have been issued for the
    victims in 2003-2004, 3 of which have been issued as of June

    FURTHER INFORMATION

    -- In 2004, 407 police officers in total, took in-service
    training courses and attended seminars on professional
    approach to the trafficked persons and combating human
    trafficking.  Eighty-three gendarmerie personnel participated
    in the seminars which were organized together with IOM and
    HRDF.  Further 40 personnel will attend another seminar on
    combating human trafficking in Adana on 23-26 November 2004.
    One hundred thirty-nine judges and prosecutors participated
    in training programs on TIP and further 25 judges and
    prosecutors will attend another seminar on 2-5 December 2004,
    organized in cooperation with HRDF.

    -- The new Turkish Penal Code comprises further provisions on
    protecting child rights as well as trafficking in human
    beings.  An important point in that regard is that the new
    Code (Article 226) considers child pornography as a separate
    offense and foresees specific penalties.  The new Code also
    foresees that persons who use children in manufacturing
    products that include obscene visual, written or oral
    elements shall be subjected to imprisonment of 5 to 10 years
    and a fine.

    -- A National Action Plan on the use of the Internet is also
    formulated with the participation of all relevant public
    institutions, along with the NGOs, to cover the years
    2005-2015.  The coordinator for the implementation of the
    Action Plan was assigned to be the Directorate General of
    Social Services and Child Protection Institute.  The main
    targets of the Plan were set as follows:

    - To prepare necessary legislation for crimes committed
    through Internet in order to protect children from all kinds
    of sexual abuse, including pedophilia and child trade,

    - To harmonize national legislation with the related
    international conventions,

    - To put review the existing legislation and when necessary
    to draft new laws,

    - To put into practice the provisions of Optional Protocol on
    the sale of children, child prostitution and child
    pornography.

    To attain these goals, tasks were assigned; institutions to
    be cooperated with were ascertained.
    -- In the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding signed
    between Turkish and Belarus Interior Ministers and became
    effective as of September 2004, officials from the Belarus
    Ministry of Interior made an official visit to Turkey on
    25-31 October 2004.  Information in TIP cases concerning two
    countries has been exchanged and investigations have been
    conducted in cooperation between competent authorities.

    -- Within the initiative of a regional Anti-Trafficking
    Project, the representatives of &People's Harmonious
    Development Society8, an NGO which operates in Georgia and
    an official from Georgian Ministry of Interior paid a study
    visit to Istanbul, Ankara, Trabzon and Rize on July 2004.

    -- Moldovan authorities also paid a visit on 8-10 November
    2004 to Ankara and Istanbul in order to enhance and discuss
    the areas of cooperation between Turkey and Moldova in the
    fight against trafficking in human beings.
