Diyarbakir, Turkey
: No Muslim family should engage in birth control or family planning, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday, calling again on pious Muslims to have more children.
-"We will multiply our descendants. They talk about population planning, birth control. No Muslim family can have such an approach,-" he said in a speech in Istanbul broadcast live on television. -"Nobody can interfere in God's work. The first duty here belongs to mothers,-" he said.
Women's groups and opposition politicians have criticised Erdogan, a devout Muslim for telling women how many children to have and dismissing the Western idea of gender equality. He has previously equated birth control with treason.
