Turkish President Erdogan has once again annoyed women’s activists with his comments on sex. He said it was the responsibility of women to ensure the continued growth of Turkey’s population.
In his latest bid to promote population growth, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan railed against contraception and family planning measures on Monday.
“I will say it clearly… We need to increase the number of our descendants,” he said during a nationally televised speech in Istanbul.
The president said that mothers are responsible for ensuring the continued growth of Turkey’s population, which has expanded at a rate of around 1.3 percent over the past few years.
“People talk about birth control, about family planning. No Muslim family can understand and accept that,” he emphasized.
“As God and as the great prophet said, we will go this way. And in this respect the first duty belongs to mothers.”
