Some want Turkey to become part of the EU. The US relies on Turkey as an "ally."
Well, some allies are just a little 'different'. Here's an interesting little survey taken in Turkey:
It questioned 430 people, most of them men. When asked the appropriate punishment for a woman who has committed adultery, 37% replied she should be killed.
Twenty-five percent said that she deserved divorce, and 21% that her nose or ears should be cut off.
The survey group was small but the results are a reminder that "honour killing" - a practice where women are murdered for allegedly bringing shame on their family - still has significant support in parts of Turkey.
