Harfouch - Once again, Turkey proves that it is still part of this region which is
narrow-minded and intolerant toward pluralism or anything different. Turkey
may be interested in conveying the impression that it has become competent

and protect differences and can safeguard the freedom of every individual in
society as long as it does not threaten the freedom of others.
