MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Türkiye is a Middle Eastern country. There is a steady increase in the deportation of Christian Believers and the banning of entry for Christians globally from visiting the country. Although it is not a crime to convert to Islam, the liberal population centers are near Istanbul. The other areas do not recognize the right to choose religious beliefs. New Christian Believers suffer in silence most of the time because of fear of discovery. Violence against Christian Believers has greatly reduced in the last few years. In fact, the country barely made the Open Doors Persecution List list in 2024. Türkiye ranks in the 50th spot.
