A Turkish immigrant charged with assault has claimed New Zealand police can't tell the difference between fighting and dancing, saying he was only celebrating with his wife, local media reported Friday.
A judge has now told the police to go study a Turkish cultural video showing the kolbastı style of dance before deciding whether to proceed with the case.
Kebab-shop owner Alaaddin Can was arrested after a passerby reported he was hitting, kicking and strangling his wife outside their shop in the North Island town of Hawera, the Taranaki Daily News said.
When he appeared in court, Can argued he and his wife, Elmas, were merely performing the traditional Turkish dance kolbastı, which, loosely translated, means "caught red-handed by the police" and involves energetic movements.
Can said he and his wife and their two teenage children had danced out of their kebab shop into a parking lot after a particularly profitable lunch shift.
"We're always dancing. I'm happy to dance with my wife and my family; what's wrong with that?" he was quoted as saying in the report. "People here understand fighting, not dancing. It's our culture."
The judge gave police two weeks to study a DVD of kolbastı dancing. If they then accept the Cans were involved in an innocent dance, the charge will be withdrawn.
