                        Ready or not...


CHP (opposition party) Parliamentarian Rafet Zeybek has brought the
scandal of the birth of 274 children in Antalya Kepez State Hospital
over the past two years by mothers aged between 14 and 17 (!), to
Parliament.  Meanwhile, the Antalya Bar has taken the matter to court,
noting that 159 of the children were born to Syrian and Afghan girls
and 115 to Turks.

Zeybek requested that Presidential Assistant Fuat Oktay respond to the
situation and he noted that "at an age when they should be playing
games and going to school, these girls are becoming mothers.  The
AKP (ruling party) showed its true colors on the matter when they
tried to rush through a bill in the middle of the night to excuse the
men who impregnated these underage girls and the public still
remembers this."

Zeybek added that "many girls escaping the war in Syria are being
sexually exploited and become unwilling mothers and brides. And
the fate of the babies is unknown, as well.  The public needs to know
how these babies are being cared for and what their health status is."
