The Turkish Parliament on Thursday (November 9th) adopted an EU-required law aimed at improving the property rights of the country's non-Muslim religious minorities. The "religious foundations law", which needs to be approved by President Ahmet Necdet Sezer to enter into force, will allow the mainly Greek, Armenian and Jewish foundations to regain properties confiscated by the state in 1974.

While freedom of worship was "generally respected" in Turkey, "non-Muslim religious communities have no access to legal personality and continue to face restricted property rights," the EC report said. "They encountered problems in the management of their foundations and in recovering property by judicial means."
