The ban on wearing the Muslim headscarf in public institutions and schools was first imposed after the 1980 military coup in Turkey, and was strictly enforced in universities in the late 1990s.
Zabrana nošenja muslimanskih marama u javnim institucijama i školama prvi puta je uvedena nakon vojnog udara u Turskoj 1980. godine i striktno je provođena na sveučilištima koncem devedesetih godina.
