Kusadasi, Turkey.

Turkey is a secular country and the people are overwhelmingly Muslim. By some estimates, more than half of Turkish women wear a headscarf. The right of women to wear the Islamic headscarf is at the heart of a fierce debate. It has resulted in a clash between those favoring the secular principles of the state, such as the Turkish Army, and those who are more conservative with their religious beliefs.
