(Anadolu) Turkey on Sunday condemned a top EU court ruling allowing companies in member states to ban employees from wearing headscarves.
The Foreign Ministry said in a written statement that the decision by the European Court of Justice is an “open violation of the right of religion.”
“We condemn this decision which is legally and conscientiously wrong and dangerous in terms of hate against Islam it will fuel,” it added.
The statement described the court’s ruling as “a further example of the efforts to institutionalize and legalize hate and intolerance against Muslims in Europe.”
Underlining that Muslims are exposed to intolerance, hate speech and even violence, the statement stressed that “especially Muslim women are adversely affected by this situation.”
