Religion and Secularity: 99% of the Turkish population is Moslem. However, everyone in Turkey has freedom of religion and beliefs. The first phases in the introduction of secularism were the abolition of the Caliphate and the Ministry of Sheria and Pious Foundations on March 4th, 1924, followed by the introduction of separate educational and judicial systems, the hat reform, the closure of dervish retreats and religious sects, the acceptance of a Sunday weekend holiday rather than the Moslem Friday and finally the adoption of the principle of secularism in the constitution on 1937. In secular Turkey, all religious affairs are carried out by a central government organisation affiliated to the Prime Ministry, namely the Department of Religious Affairs.

Hi Toroshan, Our last trip to Turkey was wonderful. Thanks for all your arrangements. Everyone was happy. We actually
enjoyed the snow. I thought I'd deleted
all my photos but I recovered them. Tim was a good guide. We hope
to use you and Tim both again in the future. I am already looking at dates for another trip. I will be in
communication with you. Blessings
