I only have a Dutch and (I hope a choose the right one from the Turkish links on Google... ) a Turkish news article, but shortly said: the AKP wants to stop bikini wearing women in the street of Alanya.

 

Here the Turkish link plus first paragraph, maybe there is a member who can translate it?

 

Sokakta mayo ve bikini yasağı önerisi

Alanya Belediye Meclis Üyesi Hilmi Arıkan, turistlerin sokak ve alışveriş merkezlerinde mayo ve bikiniyle dolaşmasının yasaklanmasını istedi.
- Alanya Belediye Meclisinin eylül ayı olağan toplantısı yapıldı. İmar ve bütçe komisyon kararlarının oylamaya sunularak, kabul edildiği toplantının son bölümünde, Demokrat Partili Belediye Meclis Üyesi Hilmi Arıkan, sokakta ve alışveriş merkezlerinde plaj kıyafeti ile dolaşılmasının yasaklanmasını önerdi.

They just don´t want you to just wear a bikini when you´re shopping or walking on the streets (That doesn´t mean when you´re next to the beach). I agree with this, it´s kind of the same rule as not having dinner in just your swimming suit. I think it´s just rude and sometimes even disgusting!

Ok, it means no more fat men with a belly far over their swim suit as if they are 8 months pregnant in restaurants and bars? Sweaty, hairy and beach sand sticking everywhere? I support this idea!

Well, since my Turkish isn´t perfect I am not 100% sure, but it seems a strange decision not to allow people wear a bikini on the beach. I´m almost convinced that that´s not what it´s about.

Then also men without a shirt and pants should be forbidden from entering shops or restaurants!

Well - pants in the UK means something different to pants in the US so I definitely hope this will be the case! lol

 

Actually I hate to see women parading round the streets in beach gear or men walking around without shirts (also in restaurants and bars).   And it´s always the ones who do it who would definitely look better covered up!

 It says mayo and bikini. Mayo is used for ´bathing suit´ in general, but since it also states ´bikini´ I think we can assume that the mayo in this case refers to swimming trousers (so not only for women.)
