Romanise, I try not to be dragged in by you and likes of you (Rizvi
for example) who could not retain anything in their upper chamber and
then accuse others of canard or else.  I do not keep record of
events/news but retain them in my skull. And then I do not have time
to prove anything to biased, racist and bigots like you . You want to
verify something, be my guest, use all the tools, libraries etc
available to all to find out the truth . I am not going to do that for
you , so in future use your time/brain and do your homework before you
start running your mouth and accusing others of canard, erroneous
statements etc . Anyway I did some research and here is what I found. 
You should verify rest yourself or call Turkish Libraries/newspapers,/
embassy/ if your suspicion is still alive. 

Here is what I found, enjoy 

Istanbul, Turkey - Turkish women resist "skirt law"
Women working at state offices throughout Turkey wore trousers to work
to protest against a law that requires female civil servants to wear
skirts on December 7, 2001. They said that the law creates a dress
code that reflects authoritarian attitudes, which are still widespread
in the largely traditional Turkish society. Prime minister, Bulent
Ecevit, backed the women's groups in their protest. He was quoted as
saying, "I had never being able to understand why wearing trousers
constitutes a threat."
