That's really a uninformed opinion. Just from this one article, you've made huge assumptions about Turkish society. Honestly, it's not much different than here. My cousin lives in Turkey, and when I visited it was pretty much normal. So you get about a dozen of those a year. But how many killings are there in the US because of a girlfriend or wife cheating or being suspected of cheating? That's the same thing.
Also, need I point out, that the US has such a ridiculously high murder rate, but we don't consider it "backward." Turkey actually has a smaller murder rate per capita than the US, but that should really come as no surprise.
