TURKEY-RELIGION-CHRISTIANITY-MINORITIES-POPE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PHILIPPE ALFROY
Ayhan Gurkan, who gives unofficial religious courses in a small church, poses in Mardin on November 18, 2014. The Christian Assyrian community in Turkey, which now numbers no more than a several thousand, has been hit by wave after wave of immigration even since the foundation the modern Turkish state in 1923 out of the ruins of the multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire. But hope has not been lost that a future presence can be continued and memory of the past retained, with some expecting a small impulse from the first visit of Pope Francis to Turkey starting on November 28.
