-- TURKEY'S CHRISTIANS CALL ON MINISTER TO APOLOGIZE OVER REMARKS
Members of the Christian community in Turkey have called on State Minister Faruk Çelik to apologize for remarks they said insulted their religion. "The minister has scorned Christians just to suppress the rightful demands of the Alevis in Turkey," said Johannes Aktaş, head of the Syriac Culture Association in Midyat. Çelik labeled Christianity as the religion of "the gavur," a word meaning "infidel" in Turkish which is often regarded as a degrading expression by non-Muslims.
