ISTANBUL, Turkey -- A court on Tuesday dropped charges against four Turkish journalists accused of insulting the country's courts, but decided to press ahead with the trial of a fifth journalist, a report said.

All five journalists were standing trial for criticizing in print a court's decision last year to shut down a conference in Istanbul about the mass killings of Armenians by Turks during the Ottoman Empire."
