Following is the message by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on the Christmas:
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to our Christian citizens on the Christmas.
We consider the presence of different religions and cultures to be a richness in line with the values of our civilization. This understanding, which forms the basis of our nation’s peace, security, unity and solidarity, is our biggest strength that will ensure our peaceful co-existence in the future as well.
I hope that the Christmas, which our Christian citizens celebrate in accordance with their faith, will further reinforce the climate of solidarity.
With these thoughts and feelings, I once again congratulate and wish welfare to all the Christian world on Christmas, first and foremost our own Christian citizens.
