President Erdoğan’s Message on Easter

Following is the message President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has issued on Easter:

I congratulate our Christian citizens and the Christian world on Easter.

The unity and solidarity displayed amid the increasing discrimination, cultural racism and intolerance by all our citizens, regardless of their faiths, continue to set an example to the entire world.

We are determined to consolidate this climate of peace, which we see as an assurance of our social tranquility, especially during this painful and trying period our region has been going through.

With these thoughts, I once again congratulate the Christian world, particularly our Christian citizens, with whom we have been living under the same sky for centuries, and will inshallah live side by side for good on Easter, and wish that it will lead to peace, stability and tranquility in our region and the world.
