    The Chair of the Syriac Culture Association Yuhanna Aktas stated
    Turkish State Minister Faruk Celik should apologize to Christians
    for calling them gavur (an offensive ethnic slur used by Muslims in
    Turkey to describe all who are non-Muslim) in one of the TV programs
    several days ago.

    Aktas sharply criticized Turkish Minister's cynical statement, saying
    Celik insulted Christianity and should apologize to all Christians
    in Turkey.

    This irresponsible statement proves what the Turkish Minister thinks
    of non-Muslims in Turkey. We fiercely criticize his attitude,"
    Aktas stressed.
