Turkey will end a ban that bars women from wearing the veil, or Islamic hijab, in state institutions, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday, September 30, in a major policy speech.
“It is not a rational to expect this package to meet all the problems of the country, although we wish we could do this,” Erdoğan said at a press conference in Ankara, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
“It is hard to make reforms when deadlock has become a type of politics,” said Erdoğan, adding that despite all threats and attacks against his party, they had not abandoned their path to democratization.
