Speaking in an election rally in Hakkari, President and AKP Chair Erdoğan has stated that there were CHP and HDP behind the women, whom he accused of whistling during the call to prayer in the 17th Feminist Night March in Taksim on March 8.

President and AKP Chair Erdoğan’s allegation that the women attending the March 8 feminist night march in Taksim “whistled the call to player” has also been criticized by columnists close to the AKP as well as its İstanbul MP Mustafa Yeneroğlu.

After President and AKP Chair Erdoğan alleged that the women attending the 17th Feminist Night March in Taksim “behaved rudely towards the call to prayer by whistling”, his allegation has made the headlines of pro-government newspapers.

After President Erdoğan claimed that “women whistled the call to prayer on March 8”, Grey Wolves gathered in Tepebaşı while another group attempted to march to HDP İstanbul Office, shouting, “May the hands reaching out for call to prayer be broken.”

Women have responded to President Erdoğan, who claimed that women attending the 17th Feminist Night March “whistled to the call to prayer”: “Don’t distort it: Our revolt is against police barricades, against the ones who want to prevent women’s march.”
