Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday his ruling AK Party could put a constitutional amendment protecting women's right to wear headscarves to a referendum if it was not passed by parliament.
The AK Party was set to present the reform, initially proposed by the opposition, to parliament on Wednesday as parties step up efforts to appeal to voters ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections set for June.
