Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arınc has urged minorities who
left Turkey due to ill-treatment in the past to return.
He made the statement at a conference organized by the Institue of
International and Intercultural Dialogue in the German Bundestag
on Tuesday.
According to Todays Zaman, Arınc said that "Turkey has no problem
with Christians, Buddhists or Hindus and that Turks only want peace
and brotherhood with Jews."
"I want people with different faiths to live in peace in my country
and I even want those who left Turkey due to mistakes [by authorities]
to return to Turkey," Arınc said, adding that the Turkish government
is doing its best to solve all kinds of problems faced by religious
minorities. The Turkish official described different cultural,
religious and ethnic minorities as Turkey's "richness."
