Astonished, Mehmet Aydin said, "Can such a thing happen? Why should we?"
During the EU Briefing of the AKP under way in Kizilcahamam, Aydin told these deputies "There are about 25 million Moslems, including 3 million Turks in EU at the moment. They are freely observing their religion there.
We shall also observe our religion comfortably, after entering EU."
Some of these groups of deputies also said that the strong reaction of EU to AKP's plans to criminalize Adultery was a result of the deep cultural difference they had with Turkey.
