Erdogan Says Türkiye has Religious Freedom, Condemns Extremism
(MENAFN) President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday described Türkiye as an exemplary country where all citizens enjoy freedom of religion and conscience, as he hosted representatives of religious minorities for an Iftar dinner in Ankara, according to reports.
Speaking at the event, Erdogan emphasized that religious communities are free to maintain their own institutions in Türkiye. He warned that “Islamophobia, which has been on the rise in recent years, clearly threatens both our people and the culture of coexistence,” and added, “Just as Islamophobia is a crime against humanity, anti-Semitism is also a crime, an evil that cannot be considered reasonable or legitimate.”
The president further stressed that Ankara does not tolerate extremist groups like Daesh/ISIS, noting that such organizations indiscriminately attack mosques, churches, and synagogues, showing “no respect even for places of worship.”
