A senior Turkish minister who caused an outcry by suggesting women should not laugh loudly in public waded into a new controversy on Wednesday by attacking women who he said could not resist pole dancing. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, a co-founder of the ruling Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP), has strongly criticized in recent days what he sees as a decline of moral standards in Turkey.
"There are women who leave on holiday without their husbands and others who dont have self control and cant stop themselves from climbing up a pole.
Anyone can live like this. I cant be angry against you but I can just have pity for you, he said.
