TURKEY-RELIGION-CHRISTIANITY-MINORITIES-POPE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PHILIPPE ALFROY
The mayor of Elbegendi village, Aziz Demir, who moved back to Mardin after 23 years in Switzerland, poses in front of his house on November 18, 2014 at Midyat in Mardin. 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.
