"Periodic killings of Christians in Turkey come to prove that
statements on religious tolerance by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan are nothing else but a myth," senior expert at Noravank
Scientific and Educational Foundation Aristakes Simavoryan told a
news conference in Yerevan.
According to him, the report on religious tolerance in the U.S. House
of Representatives shows that indeed, Turkey is intolerant.
"This has a tendency to deepen. I think Turkey will undergo
dechristianization in 30-40 years," said the expert.
In return, Turkish studies expert Hakob Chakryan noted that Turkey
shows intolerance not only to Christian population but also to some
Muslim groups.
"Ankara painfully perceives reports of intolerance, especially as
Turkey tries to introduce the country as a model of democracy and
secularity in the region," said he.
