Elif Sudagezer who is a former student of mine and who works for a best selling newspaper’s online site has written a piece on Mrs. Erdoğan’s visit to Brussels. Elif will be writing weekly roundups on Turkish popular culture though this her first piece is a different sort…
Emine Erdoğan watched a concert performed by Turkish pop star Sertap Erener in Brussels on Friday. VIA
Currently, The Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan?s wife Emine Erdoğan is addressing a speech in a conference called ?The role of Turkish Women in Turkey?s EU processes which she joined with a huge group of Turkish business women to represent Turkey.
But there is a question to be asked here. Is that really that helpful to be in such a populist manner to improve and speed up the process of Turkey?s EU process in these uncertain conditions?
According to me, the possibility of early voting stimulates the government to create a ?too interested in important subjects like women and EU? image to alter the perception in that way.
Despite the fact that ?women? and ?EU? issues are really important to bring together, first of all each of them should be solved particularly to make the collage of the two issues more meaningful.
Also another question mark is in sample. Are these 300 women most appropriate sample to represent Turkish women and are they heterogeneous enough?
Moreover, according Milliyet newspaper ?Erdoğan will explain Turkish woman?. What does that mean? Will she give success examples in business life of Turkey? Will she talk about the social status of women or will she talk about the the innovation needed in legislation about women?
Most of the important issues aren?t discussed, but they seem to be discussed?
I hope 300 people return to Turkey not with smiling celebrity pictures but with the permanent strategic innovation steps and different discourses.
