Yes, more news on the headscarf debate. Parliament
approved an amendment to allow them in universities. This is a very
divisive issue in Turkey. And
Europe is weighing in on the issue since Turkey wants to join the EU. Turkey straddles Europe and Asia, and some Turks see themselves as European, not Middle Eastern. I have a friend who lived in Turkey for a number of years. He swears that the army is not about to overthrow the government. I'm not so certain.
