I met Christian Turks in Istanbul and none have reported discrimination. In Switzerland though it is forbidden to build mosques. What does DW want to say here?
well there is a difference because christianity is native to turkey whereas islam is not in switzerland. in switzerland the musmlism are immigrants but in turkey we are indigenous people. But they should allow mosques in switzerland, never heard that they didnt.
Whoever translated the Aramaic language in this video when she and the Man are in the classroom is way way off...he tells her that he had a lot of Muslim friends and nobody complained or said anything about him being Christian. Purposely translated that way or not your decision to make.

While just visiting as a tourist we won't have enough opportunities to feel the reality of their daily lives. Turkey is indeed the most democratic islamic country but is sill far from ideal. I'm married to a Turkish-Armenian who is a Christian. Of course we have many Muslim friends there and we have no problem with them, but not everybody is like that. There are extreme people who throw stones to the ones who work during Hamadam, not to mention the first thing that shocked me during my first time in Turkey was that their religion is mentioned in their IDs. I had never seen such thing before. It's exactly to make separation and treat differently.
Adriana Menezes de Moura Polari This are the old ids now are new ones where it doesn't mentioned anymore.

The bishop says there is no freedom, after conducting the Sunday Mass at his beautifully restored ancient church! Then they show kids studying their own religion on Saturday. Then they go and see the deputy mayor of Mardin who is also Christian. Incidentally on their way to Mardin they pass by a refugee camp, one of many in that country, accommodating 3.5 million Syrians and Iraqis who are registered, in addition to maybe another million or two who entered Turkey illegally, some of whom are also Christian. Is there something missing here?

You say "....since his religion isn’t officially recognised in Turkey.." No religion is officially recognised in Turkey, even islam. Since 1928, there is no religion in the consitution that officially recognised.
There's a difference between what a country claims, and the way it acts.

Love to my orthodox brothers in turkey ☦️
i ak a muslim and i fell very sorry for eastern christian orthodox in turkey. and as a muslim i felt soo ashame for such oppression. Islam has zero tolerant to oppressor.. if we really understand Al-Qur'an.. we must humble, no oppress to other.. lakum diinukum waliyadiin..
+islam my faith They are the closest Christians to Islam both by faith and by Language, and by Origin. Aramaic people tell God as Allaha because Jesus said it is. I am muslim myself but I had Syriac friends . Christianity should learn Aramaic Christianity and its teachings. Because it is least corrupted, not translated Version.
+Y. Onur Yucel yes, you r right..
+Y. Onur Yucel yes, you r right..

Thank you for your tolerance .
If you dont have any rights then how can you live in Turkey and go to your church and pray?
How are they being oppressed? They have their own monasteries in which they can study and pratice their religion and no one is stopping them.
God bless you and keep you safe, in the name of Jesus Christ, dearest people, greetings from Egypt.
Again, I find it sickening that the Orthodox Catholic Church (which has been there long before Islam was even a thought), is being targeted as if they’re some sort of hate group. They don’t hate anyone, even those who discriminate against them. That’s because of their faith. Christ told us not hate, but to love our enemies. We can’t judge the heart, but we can judge actions. That is exactly what the Orthodox Church is doing. They don’t hate those people, but they have this righteous anger. The same righteous anger that Christ had when he drove the money changers out of the Temple. He didn’t hate those people, but he was angry that they were exploiting the Faith, and so he felt the need to clean house. I will pray, that the Orthodox Church will continue to fight the good fight, and those who hate God and his followers will convert towards him. He will come again in Glory to judge the living and the dead, and his Kingdom shall have no end. Stay strong, keep the faith, and believe that on the last day, God will triumph over the Universe.
hmm as turkish i dont see any thing bad about them but once i enteed to garden of a church, i can google name of it, great architecture, just after i pass garden gate a guy came out and yelled at me to stay away from church, i said ok sorry and left. then i checked google comments to see inside of church, also written same thing, noone could enter to see inside, very weird

At least Vienna(Holy Roman Empire) kicked the Ottomans out of Europe.
We grief for 1453, but let's celebrate for 1683.
I pray for this church to raise in this season above all odds against it.. In Jesus name
That s really FUNNY. I live in Europe and I have never heard "the call for prayer" from a mosque. But as can be seen from the video, the bell's ringing. So, where is the oppression. Considering the bans in Europe against Muslims, DW should visit Europe a lot.
christianity was in the middle east and turkey before islam even was a thing. Whereas islam in these european countries you meention is something new. can't compare at all. call for prayer in mosque isn't a call, it is a prayer that everyone will hear outside the mosque.
We the Turks first should be ashamed of what we had done to this community, and then solve their problems decisively and concretely! I hope this community stands strong!
Funny thing is that the Turks are not even ashamed to call us out on human rights and religious freedom. In western Thrace a part of Greece near Turkey lives a small muslim minority of turkish origin and the greek state allows them to follow sharia law since 1922. A few years ago they were protesting because the vast majority of them wanted the abolishment of sharia law(!!) In Greece and their cases to be examined only according to Greek and European law. Now this kids blood runs in this land far before the Turks even existed as a race, a Greek of Constantinople,a Roman. In 1955 the Turks expelled from Istanbul almost 100-150.000 Greeks, took their homes and never even compensated them. Greece respecting human rights and the fact that the turks lived here for hundreds of years didn't kick the muslims out as they were considered equally Greek citizens. Shame on Turkey..
THATS WHY as a foreigner who could have nothing to do with this conflict, but still here I am to say, one day Greece must recall or initiate buy-back policy...to reclaim Constantinople.
The city belonged rightfully to the Byzantine Empire, inhabited and governed by the Greeks: imperial dynasties, AND the people.
Taken as an act of war by the Turks, as well as an act of violence, discrimination, and genocide upon those who even lived there before them.
Also, the Greeks should even do better, by giving compensation for all the Turks to pack up and return to Anatolia for good.
An offer they should find it hard to refuse.
The Greeks must reproduce population, economy, and pursue military superiority as a bargaining power, like the way the US and Israel did.
Hail Constantinople!

Look what they're doing in Syria. It's quite evident they want a piece of the war torn country to themselves.
It's interesting how this piece is conflating fact with fiction to drive an agenda. People are going to think there isn't a single church their practising their religion
I tried replying to @Sebu's comment and Made a detailed comment,And for some Reason it disappeared? Weird.
The Turkish republic and Turkish society is Secular. A uniter nationalist and modern society. Every citizen is equal under the law. The state nor the society judge any citizen by its roots nor the faith. Everyone is free to practice own mother language and faith unless it is used as an excuse for separative movements. The video shows people practicing faith free and speaking their own language aswell. This type of videos done by Eu-American media is nothing but fantasy when real life has nothing to do with thousands years of old religions, nor thousands years of dead languages from distant past. Meanwhile ordinary Turkish citizens are busy with a struggle to feed themselves and the family every single day. The reality is that.
They are assyrian
After the founding of Turkey, the country got immensely nationalistic. But this is changing. I’m sure that soon they’ll be able to learn Kurdish and Arameic at school. Wish the best
Haha😂😂
Turkey was once the earliest Christian nation with many churches built by apostles but now they are wiped out due to persecution. God is love. Jesus loves them.
I think Petros should pray and ask Yeshua what is the way, he prepare to him ? I amaze that they succeded to keep the language spoke by our Lord Jesus !
Thanks! I’m Chaldean and always appreciate the language gift ❤
Armenians have churches in turkey 🇹🇷
our turkish classmates put us down? what kind of propaganda is this?!
Yusuf Ismail So Christians in Turkey can freely practice their religion?
Nehmi yes they can, the only thing it's forbidden in Turkey is forced conversion...or spreading pamflets to promote a religion...people have to decide it by themselves...last year Turkish president agreed to rebuild the greek and armenian churches in Turkey and funded them...even new churches are made in Turkey, but what I don't get is, why isn't the western news not spreading this big news? well it's because they hate the muslims, that's why...they keep it hidden or won't spread such thing, this is the moment where the tension between christians and muslims will fade...but the media is just twisting it...
I don't know man, I feel that Muslims are allowed to spread their religion, but others cannot in Turkey like say Alevis or Christians.
Nehmi it's bullshit, it's strictly forbidden to spread any religion in Turkey...the most misunderstood conception in Turkey is that only islam is allowed to spread religion....but it's not true...Turkey is a country where people can convert in their own free will...forcing and pushing is strictly forbidden...
***** which truth are you talking about?
the really sad part is. Turkey is actually one of the most tolerant Islamic country's. And a country where religion and politics are divided. But of course all of us are constantly reminded that the country doesn't have human rights. Because they are constantly rejected to be a member of the European union just for that reason alone. And since the European union even allow countries like Romania, Bulgaria and even wants the Ukraine to join. You know that a country does some really wrong things since the European Union obviously don't have high demands for countries to join if you allow Bulgaria and Romania to join. I also don't see any changes coming soon since Turkey won't even admit the Armenian genocide ever happened. What is general knowledge. If you don't even admit you did something wrong 100 years ago. How can they admit they are doing something wrong now. Most Turkish people are probably not even aware there is something wrong going on.
Je heb zeker gelijk.
Jammer genoeg ziet Den Haag er tegenwoordig ook uit als Turkije.
wat er gebeurde met de Christenen in Turkije gaat ook met ons gebeuren in Nederland en adere Europese landen als ze de meerderheid gaan vormen,.
