According to Afrika newspaper (31.08.13), Mehmet Ali Talat used Twitter to write: “Good luck to the new government. I wish they found a woman doctor and made her a minister so that the first men’s government after a long time was not established!…” Dogus Derya, feminist MP, tweeted: “?Democracy does not come by saying beautiful words regarding social sexual equality. The important thing is to secure consistency of words and deeds. Of course, I wish success to the newly established government, but we saw with sorrow that both the CTP and the DP ignored women while establishing the cabinet?” CTP-BG’s general secretary, Asim Akansoy supported Derya’s views: “The sensitivity on the issue of social sexual equality remains deficient in a place where women are ignored’, he noted.
