The Chair of the Syriac Culture Association Yuhanna Aktas stated
Turkish State Minister Faruk Celik should apologize to Christians
for calling them gavur (an offensive ethnic slur used by Muslims in
Turkey to describe all who are non-Muslim) in one of the TV programs
several days ago.
Aktas sharply criticized Turkish Minister's cynical statement, saying
Celik insulted Christianity and should apologize to all Christians
in Turkey.
This irresponsible statement proves what the Turkish Minister thinks
of non-Muslims in Turkey. We fiercely criticize his attitude,"
Aktas stressed.
