Default Turkey: head scarf law approved

President Abdullah Gul approved a change in the Constitution that lifts a ban against women’s head scarves at universities. Parliament passed the measure this month, and it has polarized Turkey. Mr. Gul, an observant Muslim whose wife and daughter wear the head coverings, said the amendments did not violate secularism, one of the founding principles of modern Turkey.
