Turkse vrouwen lachen om Arinc

Despite this anxiety, though, Turkey remains a long way from becoming a country defined by religion. The way Turkish women reacted to Ar?nç's remarks is evidence of that. They took to social media en masse, posting photos of themselves laughing in public, including the hashtag#direnkahkaha, which means to resist and laugh.
