EU's Lagendijk: I support the AKP on the headscarf issue

EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Committee Co-Chair Joost Lagendijk said over the weekend that he was in favor of ending the headscarf ban at universities. At a conference in the Netherlands, Lagendijk said, "Ending the headscarf ban wouldn't contradict European Union principles or criteria." He added, "I support the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) work on this issue."
