"Is Turkey on a slippery slope leading to a military/judicial coup.
At the end of last week Turkey’s highest court, the Constitutional Court, handed down a judgment which will annul the Justice and Development Party (AKP) led governments ‘headscarf law,’ which was passed in February of this year; and would have enabled young women to wear headscarfs when attending university. I find this very worrying as it may be the first step on a slippery slope leading to a military/judicial coup. The Constitutional Court claimed that it made its judgment because the ‘headscarf law’ violated the Turkish constitution, which stipulates that Turkey must be a secular State. Although I see no evidence of this and the Courts judgment has been controversial; and has been challenged by leading authorities in Turkish jurisprudence."
