This report is based on a mission to Turkey 1-9 May 1998 by the Church of Norway Council on Ecumenical and International Relations and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. Although the report is based on information and viewpoints from the persons who shared their time and knowledge with us during our visit to Turkey, the facts and viewpoints presented here are the sole responsibility of the Church of Norway Council on Ecumenical and International Relations and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. All the participants in the delegation — Hans Morten Haugen, Gunnar M. Karlsen, Ingunn Kvisteroy and Jan Rantrud — have contributed to the report. The report has been edited by Gunnar M. Karlsen.
