Mothers' only career should be motherhood, Turkish health minister says

Mothers should not put any career before motherhood, Turkish Health Minister Mehmet Müezzinoglu has said during a visit to the first baby born in 2015 in Istanbul early on Jan. 1.

Müezzinoglu and Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin visited the baby and congratulated her parents at a hospital in Zeytinburnu while also giving advice to mothers.

“Mothers have the career of motherhood, which cannot be possessed by anyone else in the world. Mothers should not put another career other than motherhood at the center of their lives. They should put raising good generations at the center of their attention,” Müezzinoglu said. [Hürriyet Daily News] Read more
