Hurriyet

State Minister Mehmet Aydin warned missionaries that they would not be able to use their politically motivated propaganda to divide Turkey and cause any social unrest in the country, Sunday. Aydin, who is responsible for religious affairs in Turkey, responded to a parliamentary questionnaire by saying that missionaries are not simply spreading their religion by exercising freedom of belief but are intervening in people's freedom of belief by capitalizing on their ignorance.

Aydin said that it was the responsibility of the Religious Affairs Directorate to inform people of any religious agendas that may be politically motivated and to create an environment where ignorance can not be used to wrongly influence people.
