Austrian MPs have voted to pass a law banning hijabs in primary schools.
The law refers to ''all head-covering clothes of ideological or religious influence'', but it does not apply to the Jewish kippa, or to the turban worn by Sikh men.
The law was tabled by the coalition government, made up of PM Sebastian Kurz' right-wing Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).
IGGÖ president Ümit Vural said the ban is ''destructive and disintegrating.''
