Prosecutor: Biggest threat is abuse of religion

"Supreme Court of Appeals Chief Prosecutor Nuri Ok said on Friday the biggest threat facing the country right now was the abuse and exploitation of religion and its values, noting that religion is injected into politics, commerce and almost every other aspect of daily life."

"Speaking after receiving the Honesty and Anti-Corruption Award from the Social Transparency Movement Association, Ok said it was hard to ignore the expanding influence of fundamentalist movements.

He said no one can claim that everything possible is being done to combat corruption, adding that there is still much to do."
