Turkey top official urges respect for scarf

By: Sultan Ahmed

ANKARA, Turkey: Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs Abdullah Gul, expected to be elected President in May, called for respect for the headscarf and stressed commitment to the Muslim nation's system.

Talking to newsmen, he said: "The headscarf is a personal choice and everyone should respect it."

He was responding when asked whether some may be angry with his wife Hayrunisa's headscarf when he becomes president.

"In democracies, everyone has individual rights and freedoms. If you see it (the headscarf) as such, the problem will be resolved."      


 
  "Knowledge is better than wealth because it protects you while you have to guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE ..
