The Turkish government has forced dozens of Christian missionaries to leave the country, stating these religious workers pose risks to national security. In response, the European Union’s legislative branch has passed a formal resolution demanding that Turkey safeguard religious liberty and fulfill its duties as a participant in the global community.
While Turkey officially maintains a secular government structure, President Erdogan has increasingly championed Islamic practices in recent years. This shift has coincided with growing harassment and persecution targeting Christian communities within the nation.
