In Turkey, the Presidency of Religious Affairs ((トルコ語:Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı)) which is found in article 136 of the Constitution of Turkey, is an official institution established in 1924 after the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate. Founded by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey as a successor to Sheikh ul-Islam, it is normally referred to simply as the Diyanet. As specified by law, the duties of the Diyanet are “to execute the works concerning the beliefs, worship, and ethics of Islam, enlighten the public about their religion, and administer the sacred worshiping places”.〔(Basic Principles, Aims And Objectives ), Presidency of Religious Affairs〕 The Diyanet had an allocated budget of 1,308,187,000 YTL or USD $0.9 Billion for the year 2006. In 1984, the Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliği was opened in Germany to cater for the religious needs of the large Turkish minority there. The Diyanet has made a name for itself by using the Quran and Hadith. A recent example is the permission of training women as preachers. In March 2005 two women were appointed as vice-mufti in Kayseri and Istanbul. The Diyanet allows in vitro fertilisation and birth control pills.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Pope bans, Turkey allows )〕 In 2006, Pope Benedict XVI travelled by car to the Diyanet, where he met with its then president, Ali Bardakoğlu, and with various Turkish Muslim leaders, among them the Grand Mufti of Ankara and the Grand Mufti of Istanbul. In 2012, President Abdullah Gül visited the institution and said “It is undoubtedly one of the most important duties of the Religious Affairs Directorate to teach our religion to our people in the most correct, clear and concise way and steer them away from superstition” ==List of Presidents== The following people have presided the institution:〔(Former presidents ), Presidency of Religious Affairs 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Presidency of Religious Affairs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
