In Istanbul today, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that women are not equal to men and attacked feminists in Turkey, stating that they reject the concept of motherhood.
Speaking at a conference on women’s rights, Erdogan said that women cannot play the same role in life as men on account of the biological difference.
– Our religion (Islam) has determined the place of women (in society) – motherhood. Some people can understand that, while others cannot. You cannot explain that to the feminists because they are opposed to the concept – said Turkish President at the gathering, on which, among other women, his daughter Sümeyye was present as well.
