Erdogan’s government is gradually drawing Turkey closer to the position of a regional leader. The recent proof of it is the cabinet decision on returning to Christian churches hundreds of pieces of property confiscated by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1936. With specific regard to the Armenian property, the assets to be returned make up only 1% of the property confiscated during the World War I.
