Annual Report on International Religious Freedom for 2006 -
Turkey , 15 September 2006, available at: [accessed 25 December
2014]  International Religious Freedom Report 2006   The
constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the
Government generally respected this right in practice; however,
the Government imposes some restrictions on Muslim and other
religious groups and on Muslim religious expression in
government offices and state-run institutions, including
universities.   The generally tolerant relationship among
religions in society contributed to religious freedom; however,
a sharp debate continued over the country's definition of
"secularism," the proper role of religion in society, and the
potential influence of the country's small minority of
Islamists. S
