Turks don't. Are you sure?

They say Egyptians and Saudis don't either. But I know better.

Yes I am sure.

Nobody has ever stated Saudis and Egyptians don't practice this custom, but even among Saudis and Egyptians, it is not as widespread as in some North African cultures.

Turkey is a secular state. Despite the fact it has a nominally Muslim party at the helm of government, it even bans headscarves in universities and the workplace.
