Turkey: Ruling party criticized over headscarves (AP)

In this Wednesday, March 30, 2011 photo, Fatma Bostan Unsal speaks to the Associated Press in Ankara, Turkey. Unsal says she was barred from taking an exam for doctoral studies at a Turkish university because she wore an Islamic headscarf, so she traveled abroad to study. Now she faces a new hurdle — she wants to run for parliament in June elections despite secular rules that bar religious attire in government settings. She is among a dozen women wearing Islamic headscarves, a flashpoint in the conflict between the government and its opponents, who have applied to Turkey's Islam-based ruling party in hopes of being nominated as candidates for parliament.(AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici)AP - Turkish activists pushing for more women in public office who wear headscarves criticized the ruling party Tuesday for only nominating one such candidate for June elections.
