Turkey recognized Armenians rejecting Vatican
The Turkish government rejected Vatican’s demand to give juridical status to the Catholic Church in Turkey despite 50 year long diplomatic relations between Ankara and Vatican.
“For now, it is not possible for us to meet the Vatican’s demands for a legal personality for the Catholic Church in Turkey,” Today’s Zaman quotes Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc.
Turkish authorities say that the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, the main agreement regulating minorities in Turkey, recognized only Jews, Armenians and Greek Orthodox communities. Roman, Catholics, Syriacs and Protestants were not recognized which means these communities have no legal rights.
