Would Turkey Deputy Prime
Minister Bulent Arinc consider this immodest behaviour in public – women
supporters of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan cheering as he addresses the
audience at the Turkish parliament? – Reuters pic, July 30, 2014.
Hundreds of Turkish women
posted "selfies" - pictures of themselves laughing on Twitter on Wednesday to protest
against comments by Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc who had urged women not
to laugh in public to "protect moral values".
Melda Onur, a lawmaker from
the main opposition party CHP said on Twitter Arinc's comments portrayed
laughing as a dishonourable act and left women exposed to violence.
