Cow Falls Through Roof, Hurts 1

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Ethem Sahin thought his friends were kidding when they told him how he ended up in the hospital.

But they witnessed the cow fall through the roof of the coffee house where they were playing dominoes and knock Sahin unconscious.

``My friends told me later what happened. I couldn't believe it,'' Sahin told the Anatolia news agency.

Sahin's wife, Rahime, was equally incredulous.

``They told me that a cow fell on top of my husband,'' she said. ``I thought they were kidding me. May God protect us from a worse accident.''

Sahin was treated in the hospital for a broken leg and needed seven stitches to his forehead after the freak accident Tuesday in the central Anatolian city of Nevsehir.

The cow apparently wandered from the hillside where it was grazing onto the roof of the coffee house, which was built into the side of the hill.

The cow was not seriously injured.

Turkey Sex Boycott May End
By SUSAN FRASER, Associated Press Writer

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - It's a victory for the women of a Turkish village who called a bedroom boycott to demand running water: A new water system is reportedly on the way.

But that doesn't necessarily mean an end to the boycott: The women still want to make sure the men build the pipeline.

For a month, the women of the southern village of Sirt - tired of hauling water, sometimes for miles - have been refusing sex until the men provide running water to the village.

Now, the government has agreed to the men's requests that it give them pipes so they can build a water system, the Anatolia news agency reported Wednesday.

But at least some women were taking a wait-and-see stance.

``They won't be able to get into our bedrooms until the water runs through the taps,'' one village woman, Fatma Koru, said with a laugh. ``The protest will continue.''

Faliha Sari was more discreet about her intentions. ``Everything starts and ends with water,'' she said, refusing to elaborate. ``We're happy that it is finally arriving.''

After the latest breakdown in the 26-year-old water system in Sirt, located near the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, women have had to line up in front of a trickling fountain for water that they carry home in large containers - a walk of several miles for some.

The men finally came round this week and asked local officials to either fix the water system or give them the materials to do so.

The government directorate of rural affairs agreed to provide them with enough pipes to build a 5-mile line from a nearby water source to the village, the news agency reported.

Village leader Ibrahim Sari - the family name is common in the village - said he has not yet been notified of the decision, but said he was happy to hear the reports.

``We had asked for the material and are ready to build it ourselves,'' Sari said, estimating that construction would take about a month.

Ayse Sari, a grandmother, was skeptical that strike was really taking place.

``It's just something the women said, and it worked,'' she said. ``We got the attention. We were tired of carrying the water. Those who had donkeys were lucky.''
