"Međutim, koji god nacrt da odobri parlament je onaj koji ćemo iznijeti na referendum i zatražiti od naroda da ga odobri," rekao je on, porekavši izvještaje da AKP planira uključiti u ustav klauzule kojima se ukida zabrana nošenja muslimanske mahrame za glavu na univerzitetima.
"But whichever draft is approved by parliament is the one we will take to a referendum to ask the people to approve," he said, denying reports that the AKP is planning to include clauses in the constitution to lift the ban on wearing the Muslim headscarf in universities.
