Excerpt: The president of the European Parliament's human rights sub-committee asked a Turkish deputy if the rights of homosexuals and transsexuals would be safeguarded in the constitution. Helene Flautre held talks Thursday with Zafer Üskül, head of Turkish Parliament's Human Rights Commission. In response, Üskül said time and patience was needed for improvement on the issue.
