Turkey wants to once again consider criminalization of adultery, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

 “I think it would be very, very well-timed to again discuss the adultery issue, as our society is in a different position with regards to moral values,” Erdogan told reporters following a speech in parliament, Reuters reported.

Justice and Development party raised the issue back in 2004, but the proposal was negatively assessed by the opposition. The EU said the initiative could jeopardize Turkey’s efforts to join the union.

Talking to reporters on Tuesday, Erdogan said their decision to take a step in accordance with the EU’s demands was a mistake.
