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 put je uvedena posle vojnog udara u Turskoj 1980. godine i striktno je sprovođena na univerzitetima krajem devedesetih godina.
