Earlier today, Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), introduced a bill to parliament that would create 2 new public holidays; Novruz (Persian New Year) and May Day.
Separate, unsuccessful attempts were already made last year to declare additional public holidays for Novruz (20-Mar-2008) and May Day (21-Apr-2008), and thus we do not expect either of these measures to pass in 2009, either.
