Freedom of religion in Turkey

Turkey is a secular country per Article 24 of the Constitution of Turkey. Secularism in Turkey originates from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's ''Six Arrows'' of republicanism, populism, laïcité, reformism, nationalism, and statism. The Turkish government imposes some restrictions on Muslim and other religious groups and on Muslim religious expression in government offices and state-run institutions, including universities.〔(Turkey: International Religious Freedom Report 2007 ). United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.〕
==Religious demography==

According to the Turkish government, 90% of the population is Muslim, the majority of which is Sunni.〔(International Religious Freedom Reports of the US Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor ) quoted from the 2006 report, but included in more annual reports〕 According to The World Factbook, 98.2% of Turkey's population is Muslim.〔(CIA Information on Turkey ); accessed on 11 October 2009〕 The government officially recognizes only three minority religious communities: Greek Orthodox Christians, Armenian Apostolic Christians, and Jews, although other non-Muslim communities exist.〔 The 2006 report of the U.S. Department of State listed the following numbers of religious minorities in Turkey:
These figures were repeated in the 2009 report of the U.S. Department of State.〔(Turkey: International Religious Freedom Report 2009 ), United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, released on 26 October 2009, accessed on 10 November 2009〕 with the difference in figures of up to 3,000 Greek Orthodox Christians and an additional 3,000 Chaldean Christians. The number of Syriac Christians and Yazidis in the southeast was once high; however, under pressure from government authorities and later under the impact of the war against the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), many Syriacs migrated to Istanbul, Western Europe, or North and South America.〔 According to the Turkish sociologist Ahmet Taşğın the Yazidis in Turkey numbered 22,632 in 1985. Until 2000 the population had dropped to 423.〔See the article (Yezidilerin soyu tükeniyor ) (Yazidis close to extinction) ; published on 13 August 2005 and accessed on 11 October 2009〕 The same academic said that 23,546 Syriacs were living in Turkey in 1985. Their number dropped to 2,010 in the year 2001.〔Quoted according to an (undated article in the journal Chronicle ); ; accessed on 11 October 2009〕
Theoretically, Turkey, through the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), recognizes the civil, political and cultural rights of non-Muslim minorities.
In practice, Turkey only recognizes Greek, Armenian and Jewish religious minorities without granting them all the rights mentioned in the Treaty of Lausanne.
Alevi-Bektashi and Câferî Muslims,〔The World of the Alevis: Issues of Culture and Identity, Gloria L. Clarke〕 Latin Catholics and Protestants are not recognized officially.
