Description
Nil Book Description: The burning problems of non-Muslim communities living in Turkey and the multi-dimensional destruction they cause have often been ignored. In None, it focuses its lens on two of the most burning issues: the non-recognition of legal entities of non-Muslim communities and the problems they face in representation. The problems highlighted in the book are not cold legal issues, on the contrary, they are as important as bread and water in the struggle for the survival of Turkey's most vulnerable citizen groups. Following the transition from the Ottoman rule to the Republican era, non-Muslim communities were systematically discriminated against by laws and practices. The institutions responsible for representing these communities were deprived of their legal entities that would put them on a legal basis and were even destroyed over time. The articles of the Treaty of Lausanne, which is considered the founding agreement of the Republic of Turkey, regarding minority communities were ignored, and this approach caused many new problems. In this provision, three meetings were held at Galatasaray University, Ankara University and Istanbul Bilgi University between 2012 and 2014. It brings together the papers presented and speeches made at the conference. In these texts, in which experts from home and abroad, as well as many people from non-Muslim communities who are closely involved in the subject, share their experiences, stimulating analyses, suggestions and opinions about discrimination against minorities and how it can be eliminated are included. The study is of great value as a reference source in the struggle to prevent these communities, each of which has an ancient history in the lands we live on, from being considered 'non-existent'.
