Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan congratulated March 8 International Women's Day and relayed a clear message: "nobody can legalize violence against women under the name of honor".

HE IS AT UNIVERSITY WITH DECISION OF ECHR
Mursel Eren could not win University Selection Exam for three years. He went to course for one year and he was among the first 100 students who won the university exam in 1997. However, Student Selection and Placement Center did not register his name to the Faculty of Law as his condition was "suspicious".
Eren applied to European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) as he could not get a result from his application to Council of State. ECHR said Eren must be given 5,000 euro as compensation and noted, "decision of jurisdiction should be removed and Eren's registration should be done".
OSYM registered him but appealed the case. Council of State Committee said OSYM was found unjust.
