Ninova said that if the rulers were in a hurry and insisted that this ratification be made, then the people would not be able to say what they think.

"We are continuing to introduce laws that meet the requirements of the Istanbul Convention as regards violence against children.

We are firmly opposed to it, and we continue to import these laws, "Ninova said, and recalled that BSP had already introduced changes to the Penal Code.
