ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Hundreds of
Turkish women posted pictures of themselves laughing on Twitter on Wednesday to
protest comments by
deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, who had urged
women **t to
laugh in public to "protect moral values". Melda Onur, a lawmaker from the main opposition party CHP, said on Twitter that Arinc's comments portrayed laughing as a disho**urable act and left
women exposed to violence. Arinc criticised the media on Wednesday for taking his comments out of context and focusing on a small part of his speech, in which he said he advised both men and
women to adopt "ethical behaviours"
