Turkey: 'The Turkish parliament has approved a controversial higher education bill, which some fear could raise tension between the government and military. After all-night discussions, MPs adopted the bill which will make it easier for graduates of religious high schools to study at universities. The military issued a statement earlier this week, saying the reforms threatened Turkey's secular state.' (BBC)
