Jilbab eventually became part of the Cankaya Palace in Istanbul. Hayrunnisa Gul who is wearing it. Abdullah Gul's wife, the former foreign minister Tuesday (28 / 8) was inaugurated as the 11th president of Turkey, became Turkey's first First Lady who veiled.
Jilbab''cover only a head, not my brain,''firmly Hayrunnisa (42), who is married with Gul at the age of 15 years. Women who are known for intelligent, warm-looking, elegant, and avoids the media spotlight this confirms the hijab is a personal choice that must be respected. Jilbab and adherence to Islamic teachings, strict mom of three kids, did not prevent him to become modern. Hayrunnisa hijab could indeed become a political commodity warm in Turkey. Head into a soft a target for the secular camp, her husband's political enemies, for sabotaging the nomination of her husband become president by the ruling Islamic-based AKP.
The opposition and the military, which is a supporter of secularism, the headscarf as a symbol of Islamic judge ought not to decorate Cankaya Palace which is considered as the symbol and stronghold of secularism in Turkey. This, they say, will damage the value of secularism introduced by the founder of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Attaturk.
On several occasions, Hayrunnisa said he only found a problem with the headscarf worn when in fact his own country is 90 percent Muslim population. During accompany Gul visiting friendly countries, he said, he did not find a problem with her headscarf.
In 2002, Hayrunnisa into the public spotlight when she filed a lawsuit in the European Union's High Court on Human Rights (ECHR) after Ankara University refused registration solely because of her headscarf. He later retracted his complaint after the AKP won the election.
Learn from the experiences of her mother, Kubra, the only daughter of the couple-Hayrunnisa Gul, covered her head with a wig in order to get into university.
For secular faction, represented by the military and the Republican People's Party (CHP), all the arguments Hayrunnisa meaningless. For them, her head still reflects a step backward for women's emancipation movement which introduced Kemal Attaturk.
The defense came from the adherents of the liberal idea. They condemned the military and opposition spicy that makes the Islamic headscarf and the background of this couple as a political weapon. They say two things touted opposition not being able to emulate the achievement of the PPA.
Support for the mother country also come from a poll conducted leading institutions, Konda. Poll results released Miliyet daily, Tuesday (28 / 8), showed 72.6 percent of respondents considered normal if the first lady wore a headscarf. Only 19.8 percent of respondents who said Turkey's disturbed because of the mother country covered, and 7.6 percent claim not to have attitude.
The survey was held On 18-19 August with 2734 respondents also showed that only 12.6 percent of respondents who think the president of Turkey should be fully devoted to secular principles. Meanwhile, nearly 53 percent of respondents said they absolutely impartial attitude of the president should possess. Followed by 28.4 percent of respondents who said the president must be loyal to the values of the Republic, including the secular. (Sewers)
