"A spokesperson for the Protestant Churches Association, Isa Karatas, reacted against claims regarding missionary activities in Turkey.
"Everybody talks according to his own mind" Karatas added yesterday, "Our activities have nothing to do with the European Union (EU) process. We had continued our activities, talking about our religion before the EU process. We do not understand the EU process to be another opportunity. We support EU membership for the benefit of Turkey. Not for the benefit of ourselves."
Karatas contended that just because some people converted to Christianity does not mean the country has lost. Those who have become Christian, Karatas claimed, love their country much more than the others."
