"The worst taboo: Sexual harassment

Opinion by Elif ŞAFAK

Turkey has many taboos. Per capita taboo in the country, I assume, is around six or seven. An average Turkish person has six or seven taboos. These are issues firmly locked, that we don't want to discuss openly. The 1915 Armenian forced resettlement, minority rights, human rights, both freedom of belief and freedom not to follow a faith, freedom of expression, immediately branding as 'domestic enemies' those who question the official history... the list gets longer and longer."
