Turkey’s main opposition leader is scheduled to meet with minority group representatives in Istanbul on May

In attendance at the dinner, organized by the Adalar Municipality, will be Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the leading names from the Armenian, Roma, Jewish, Syriac and Catholic communities in Turkey.

The minority summit comes just days after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s statement that the ruling party’s “red-lines are a single state, a single nation, a single flag and a single religion.”

The minority leaders invited include Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew, Turkey’s chief rabbi İzak Haleva and Armenian Acting Patriarch Aram Ateşyan.
