Life
Sözen is the daughter of a grocer in Central Anatolia. She studied at Marmara University in Istanbul and at the University of Wisconsin , USA. Edibe Sözen became Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's communications advisor in 2006 ; today she is deputy chairman of his party. Sözen was elected to the Turkish parliament for the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) in the Turkish parliamentary elections in 2007.
Sözen came under fire with a draft law on the protection of minors, which provided that buyers of pornography would be registered by the state in the future. Prayer rooms should also be set up in all school buildings, and internet cafés should be banned for young people under the age of 18. A storm of indignation from the opposition and the media caused their party to distance itself from the bill.
