"This is a timely book looking at the complex issues of religious minorities and their security problems in Turkey. It provides a much needed analysis in an area previously understudied and addresses a gap in the literature." (Professor Meltem Muftuler-Bac, Sabanci University, Turkey) "Turkey has made temporary, partial political and social progress which has made life a little easier for minorities, before taking alarming steps backwards recently. This book will be able to contribute to a better understanding of the social and political prospects of the country and gives scientific insights into the difficult situation of religious minorities." (Professor Thede Kahl, Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena, Germany)
