More signs that the AKP seeks to change the secular nature of Turkish society:

Suddenly, all newspapers carry similar stories: 1. Allah spelled in Arabic on apartment buildings… 2. Acid was thrown at the legs of girls in mini skirts in Tarsus… 3. Girls with uncovered heads were attacked… In these critical times, when there’s question of Turkey being pushed into a more conservative direction by the AKP (Justice and Development Party), news like the following cause even more concern:
– AKP governed municipalities like Diyarbakır are establishing red zones. Liquor licences are being canceled.
– Sports clubs are prohibited from selling alcohol on their social premises.
– Alcohol promotion is not tax-deductible any more. Alcoholic drink companies will no longer be able to sponsor sports activities.
– Prohibition spreads to more and more venues and tourist spots controlled by AKP municipalities.
– The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) law will censure alcohol-drinking scenes on TV.
