"No Muslim family" must accept contraception or family planning, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who estimated that women are primarily mothers said on Monday.
"We clearly say (...) We must consolidate our offspring," Erdogan said in a speech in Istanbul. "We talk about contraception, family planning. No Muslim family can have that mentality."
"What it says my God, what my beloved prophet, is the path we will take," he added the head of the Turkish state.
It is not the first time that Turkish President makes such statements. He had said for example that women should have at least three children and contraception compared to a "betrayal".
There was also sparked outrage from feminists to say that women were not equal to men or women is primarily a mother.
This father of four children has also spoken in favor of limiting the right to abortion and the morning-after pill.
The Turkish population has grown exponentially in recent years. The country currently has about 79 million inhabitants.
