Well - pants in the UK means something different to pants in the US so I definitely hope this will be the case! 
Really, what is the difference?

The text says "sokakta", so I guess this prohibition refers to streets and not the beach, if that´s the case I´d support that, I don´t like people walking around the streets as if they were on the beach, it seems so tasteless to me.

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.
I know your hate againt to AKP but you should be a bit more unprejudiced. Hilmi Arıkan is a member of Demokrap Parti (DP), which is not AKP. On the other hand, another mnicipal parliamenter who agrees this idea is from another party, ANAP, according to the news.
I know the third supporter is from AKP as well but when I read this;

I can feel your prejudgements. Why it can´t be a normal wish by any citizen? Why it needs to be bad? Why it can´t be normal?
Read the story, it says "people are disturbed by the dressings which are not suitable even for the beaches"
On the other hand, I agree with the men issue, they shouldn´t disturb people as well but this disturbance that story talks about is not the "view joy". These people are talking about moral values.

Don´t feel instantly so offended! The Dutch article I read said AKP, that´s why I used that name. Nothing more and nothing less. I did not say anything wrong about the party, that idea is in your head, Caliptrix.

And so they are my dear!!! But you don´t catch many Englishmen wearing them these days -maybe only the upper classes off ´hunting, shooting and fishing!´
