导读:据BBC25日报道，土耳其总统埃尔多安表示，不可以把女性放在与男性平等的位置上，这违反人的本性。一些土耳其人认为政府的一些社会政策正在把国家带向危险的方向。

Reported by BBC on November 25, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said women cannot be treated as equal to men, and has accused feminists of rejecting motherhood.

据BBC25日报道，土耳其总统埃尔多安表示，女人和男人无法平等，他还对那些拒绝母性概念的女权主义者做出了抨击。

“You cannot put women and men on an equal footing,” he told a meeting in Istanbul. “It is against nature.” He also said feminists did not grasp the importance of motherhood in Islam.

埃尔多安在伊斯坦布尔的一次大会上表示，“你不可以把女性放在与男性平等的位置上，这是违反人的本性的。”他还说，女性主义者不能理解母性概念对伊斯兰民族的重要性。

His comments often seek to appeal to his pious core supporters, but they anger more liberal voters. Turks who have more secular views argue that the government’s social policies are taking the country in a dangerous direction.

埃尔多安的言论经常是希望让自己忠实的核心支持者感到满意，但是这些言论让一些主张自由的选民感到愤怒。那些世俗的土耳其人会认为政府的一些社会政策正在把土耳其带向危险的方向。

Mr Erdogan has previously urged women to have three children, and has lashed out against abortion and birth by Caesarean section.

埃尔多安之前曾经呼吁女子生育三个孩子，并对那些进行流产和通过剖腹产生孩子的做法进行了抨击。

His latest remarks were delivered at a women’s conference in Istanbul. “In the workplace, you cannot treat a man and a pregnant woman in the same way,” Mr Erdogan said, according to the Anatolia news agency.

他最近的言论是在伊斯坦布尔的一次妇女大会上发表的。据土耳其安纳托利亚通讯社引述埃尔多安的话说，“在工作单位，你不可能把一名男子和一名怀孕的女性平等对待。”

Women cannot do all the work done by men, he added, because it was against their “delicate nature”. “Our religion regards motherhood very highly,” he said. “Feminists don’t understand that, they reject motherhood.” He said women needed equal respect rather than equality.

他还说，女子不能做所有男子能够做的事情，因为这违反她们纤巧的本性。“我们的宗教对母性非常看重，女权主义者并不理解，她们反对母性。” “我们的宗教对母性非常看重，女权主义者并不理解，她们反对母性概念。”

Mr Erdogan also told the Istanbul meeting that justice was the solution to most of the world’s issues - including racism, anti-Semitism, and "women’s problems".

在伊斯坦布尔的大会上，埃尔多安还说，司法可以解决世界上的大部分问题，包括种族歧视、反犹太主义和“妇女问题”。

The Turkish leader often courts controversy with his statements. Earlier this month, he claimed that Muslims had discovered the Americas more than 300 years before Christopher Colombus.

埃尔多安的言辞经常会引起争议。在本月早些时候，他声称穆斯林比哥伦布早300年发现了美洲大陆。

In his 11 years as prime minister, Mr Erdogan became a crucial player in regional politics. However, his reputation has suffered recently over the crisis in Syria, and accusations of authoritarianism.

在作为土耳其总统的11年当中，埃尔多安成为地区政坛的一个重要人物。然而由于叙利亚危机以及受到”独裁“的指责，埃尔多安的声誉有些受损。
