TURKEY-RELIGION-CHRISTIANITY-MINORITIES-POPE


TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PHILIPPE ALFROY

Priest Gabriel Aktas poses in Kirklar, a Syriac church in Mardin, south-eastern Turkey, on November 17, 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.
