Philippine FM embarrasses Gul over women in politics

"Nine out of 22 ministers are women in the Philippine cabinet. It is for everyone to do the same. I hope I do not start a revolution here," a cheerful Albert told a press conference held jointly with Abdullah Gul. As journalists jumped on her remarks, Gul went on the defense. "It is hard for us to compete with the Philippines. Their president is also a woman. They have achieved a great progress," he said."We also want women to be in the forefront, but they should do that with their own strength. If there are barriers on their way, we are lifting them. I hope more women will win seats in parliament in the next elections," he said.
