Abstract
early on in my stay because of daily news reports concerning the recent assassina- tion at the Council of State in Ankara of a Turkish judge who had refused to relax the rules on the wearing of headscarves. No sooner had I settled in the city in the latter part of May than I witnessed a demonstration by Turkish lawyers on Istiklal Caddesi, in the Beyoglu district near my hotel. A statement was read by the head of the Istanbul Bar who said, “I call on all people and institutions that are partly responsible for the attack to respect all the institutions of the republic and obey the judicial rulings.” Based on my observation, it was also true that the vast majority of women walking day or night around lively Beyoglu, home to numerous restaurants, shops, galleries, theatres, foreign embassies, and cultural centers, were not wearing headscarves.
