Warning to missionaries in Turkey

Aydin, who is responsible for religious affairs in Turkey, responded to a parliamentary questionnaire by saying that missionaries are not simply spreading their religion by exercising freedom of belief but are intervening in people’s freedom of belief by capitalizing on their ignorance.

Aydin said that it was the responsibility of the Religious Affairs Directorate to inform people of any religious agendas that may be politically motivated and to create an environment where ignorance can not be used to wrongly influence people.
