THE CONCEPT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN TURKISH LEGISLATION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF Abstract TURKEY'S ACCESSION TO THE EU
Öz
The introduction o f information technologies into society has played a part in the world becoming smaller and smaller. As a result ofthe rapid development, diffusion and use of information technologies, a number of issues and new kind ofoffences have arisen in practise. In addition to these issues and offences, new concepts such as the information society, cyberspace and information offences have emerged. International co- operation is being conducted between states in combating these new types ofoffences. Member states ofthe Council ofEurope signed a Convention on Cybercrimes in Budapest on 23 Nov. 2001. The convention on Cybercrimes is very important, since it is the first convention providing for international co-operation. In Turkey, on 14 June 1991, "Chapter 11" entitled "Crimes in the Information Area" was added following after Article 525 in the Turkish Penal Code and, thus, crimes committed in the information area have been arranged as independent and separate offences. In this study, examples of cybercrime, which are increasingly dependently on the rapid diffosion of information technologies in Turkey, have been examined in accordance with the Turkish Penal Code and it has been suggested that e- laws appropriate to information technologies must be made in the process ofaccession to the EU.
