Mass protest actions took place in the Turkish cities of Ankara and Istanbul in connection with the restrictions on wearing headscarves in educational institutions of Azerbaijan. This is reported by the Turkish media. Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Ankara, as well as the Consulate General of Azerbaijan in Istanbul, expressing their dissatisfaction with the policy of the Azerbaijani authorities. The participants of the action chanted: "Hijab is God's commandment, it cannot be banned", demanding to stop the restrictions implemented by the administration of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev. According to the protesters, wearing a headscarf is a religious obligation, and the right of students to get an education should not be restricted because of it.
