"A question of religion
The New Anatolian / Ankara
Whether or not the identity card should continue to carry a section stating the holder's religion has created a controversy within the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party.
Dr. Nevzat Yalcintas, the Istanbul deputy of the ruling party, expressed concern that the section on religion would be abolished in the new identity cards and asked Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu whether this would be the case."
