[Photo/Agencies] Turkey has criticized the European Union s highest court, the European Court of Justice, for opening the door to employers banning workers from wearing headscarves. Turkey, a close neighbor of the EU, claimed the ruling opens the door to racism and Islamophobia. The ruling by the court, which is also known as the ECJ, followed two high-profile cases in German courts brought by Muslim women who had been prevented from wearing headscarves at work.
