10.11.2006 14:32
The Turkish Parliament has adopted a law, which expands the property
rights of non-Muslim communities of the country. Thus, Ankara has
fulfilled the recurrent requirement of the European Union on
reinforcement of minority rights.
The new law to be still signed by the President allows the Christian
Greek and Armenian, as well as the Jewish communities to demand
return of the property confiscated in 1974 by the Turkish state.
