President Erdoğan: Zero tolerance for violence against women

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at a ceremony marking the ruling party’s 19th foundation anniversary. 

"Any regulation, approach or ideology trying to harm our families is not humane, nor it is legitimate," Erdoğan said.

"If we step back from protecting women, we would not be able to answer anyone," he added. 

“While there are so many regulations in favor of women in the country, we will not leave this issue to those who try to make this issue an excuse to dehumanize our values,” the president said. 

During his speech, Erdoğan recalled Turkey’s economic development under the rule of Justice and Development (AK) party for the past 19 years.  

Once the impact of the coronavirus pandemic falls, he said, Turkey will start a new era in its economy and it will be an era of progress.

He said Turkey’s locally produced car will hopefully be in the market in 2022 and Turkey will be a leader country in terms of electric vehicles.
