Serdar Turgut, in his column in Akşam Newspaper bearing date of 30th of May, keynoted a danger that is very important for all of us saying that "A country, where women are mentioned, they loom large this amount, does not to be helpful. Our ending is not good. Everybody should know..." We agree concerning some of his sayings: "A country, where women are spoken about, loom large this amount, does not to be helpful." Especially it does not seem to be helpful for anybody when it is mentioned with irrational connections and hostile approaches as Serdar Turgut did. Serdar Turgut is arriving at this conclusion (?) on account of the profiting of head of World's Bank to his girl friend. As it is understood, he is blaming the girl friend about this case, moreover he is hinting that the same woman can have an effect on the occupation of Iraq: What I am saying is; Wolfowitz's, whom has risked his career in World's Bank in order to supply a good position to his girl friend, not being effected from her while planning the war in Iraq is not possible." And he is explaining how he had warned the parties: "A new fashion has emerged, each leader started to charge women candidates. I personally said Dear Deniz Baykal that it could finish CHP" As Media Watch Group (Mediz), we are trying to take your attention to the discrimination, ignoring and examples of violence against women at media. However we are just settling for sharing this writing that we even could not find any rational word or suggestion for discussion or response with you. And our wish about a media where misogyny does not take columns...
