Turkey claims progress on human rights

Turkey has promised to respect EU norms of detention in its Kurdish-dominated south-east, and may allow Amnesty International to reopen its office in the country after a 22-years ban. However, Turkey's Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said that he would not allow Kurds to use their language in schools.
