It seems to me that the most successful laws and decrees are not those adopted by lawmakers, but those that take into account human psychology. In Istanbul he heard the story of how Kemal Atatürk, coming to power, modernized society according to the Western pattern.
Ataturk is considered by them to be the father of the nation, the liberator who overthrew the Sultan, and although many admit that his methods were frankly dictatorial (he himself, by the way, considered himself a dictator), how else would it be to carry out reforms in a country with an 80-percent Muslim population? Only with authoritarian and harsh methods, very far from the modern European Union democracy.
Having firmly decided to put the country on the rails of civilization, he understood that until the beautiful Turkish women will not open the face, a secular state from Turkey will not be made.
And then a law was passed that strictly prohibits the wear of a curtain - a cover on the face of a woman. The traditional Turkish society immediately rejected the new law. Prison terms have rushed – useless, even a series of suicides have gone through the country as a sign of protest.
Ataturk, then, as a man of the military and having some experience of communicating with dishonest garrison girls, thought to the following - obliged all the prostitutes to also cover the faces with a parange.
The result exceeded all expectations – within a week the Turks broke up with black blankets.
Maybe, of course, this is a bicycle, but in any case, coming now to our all-Union Turkish sanatoriums, we feel in this country (unlike the neighbors) quite comfortable and comfortable.
