TURKEY: TWO DEPUTIES PROPOSE TROUSERS FOR WOMEN MPs

(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JULY 8 - Two Turkish parliamentarians proposed amendment to parliamentary bylaw to allow women deputies to wear trousers during Parliamentary General Assembly meetings, as Anatolia news agency reports. Justice & Development (AK) Party deputies Ihsan Sener and Sibel Gonul presented the proposal to Parliament Speaker's Office on Thursday. Under the proposal, women deputies can wear trousers and jackets besides suits. It amends Article 56 of the bylaw, which states ''women deputies wear suits'', as ''women deputies wear suits or jacket and trousers''. The reason for the proposal is to let women deputies wear more comfortable clothes during long and exhausting General Assembly meetings.
