| " If we wanted, we could permit headscarf" |
The architect of the constitutional bill of AK Party, Dengir Mir Fırat, said: " if we had wanted to permit wearing headscarf only, we would have done this only with one article." Referring to the section of the constitutional bill regarding the freedom to wear headscarf everywhere, Mir said: " some people understand the constitution only from this perspective of headscarf; because they are afraid of expressing their real intentions." " Their real intention is the issue of who holds the sovereignty and how to use this. The nation holds the sovereignty and Turkish nation defines the authorized organs according to the principles of the constitution." " We did not put headscarf in the center of the constitution. If we had wanted it, we would only add an article to the referendum in October and would make headscarf wearing free with less trouble." |
