Despite being outlawed, honor killings are widespread in Turkey. Hundreds of women are killed each year for forming relationships, seeking divorce, or even because they're victims of sexual assaults and rapes.
Unfortunately this news gives the impression that the entire country is backward and women in Turkey is same as like they are in Afghanistan.

But since they are part of the country it gives a bad reputation for the entire country. I wish this article was little more clear to make that distinction. Thanks,
