"When the European Parliament voted on 22 May about the report on a 2020 perspective for women in Turkey, I chose to abstain. I do not believe that the European Parliament has the right to tell Turkey to introduce legislation on mandatory quota systems in electoral lists. Furthermore, we cannot call on the Turkish Government to make gender equality courses a compulsory part of the curriculum at all levels of education or to set specific pay levels during parental leave. I am very much aware that Turkey has a great deal to do with regard to equality. Obviously, the EU must promote and support this work. However, I believe that lecturing Turkey and calling for legislation which we ourselves do not have is totally the wrong approach."@en1
