Interesting Fact # 402 - Turkish Law
It is a criminal offence in Turkey to insult Turkishness.
(Article 301 of Turkey's penal code allows up to three years in jail for "denigrating Turkish national identity". Just think, if they made it an offence to insult "Britishness", the Monty Python team would have been locked up years ago.)
