| 'Let them cry out for miniskirts,' sez Erdogan |
| 2015-02-26 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] Miniskirts have once again become cannon fodder in Turkey's culture war, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... personally diving into the issue during a speech on Feb. 25. "Let them cry out for low-cut [tops] and miniskirts," Erdogan said during a ceremony in Ankara for the inauguration of dormitories owned by the Service for Youth and Education Foundation of Turkey (TÜRGEV), vowing to "raise generations loyal to their beliefs and history." The president's son, Bilal Erdogan, is among the board members of TÜRGEV, a charity nongovernmental organization. On Feb. 21, a group of men organized a protest in Istanbul, wearing miniskirts, to demonstrate against patriarchy and in memory of slain 20-year-old student Özgecan Aslan. The burned body of Aslan was discovered on Feb. 13 in a riverbed in the southern Turkish province of Mersin, triggering a public debate in which a women's supposedly "provocative" attire has been cited as a reason for sexual assault and harassment by some conservative voices. |
