[While Turkey is recognized officially as a “secular”
country, 97.8% of the population identifies as Muslim
with only 2% declaring they are non-religious. About
72% of Turkey’s Muslims are Sunnis, while Alevis/Shia
form about 25% of the population. There is a “Twelver
Shia” community representing 3% of the Muslim
population, and an Alawite community consisting of an
estimated 1 million adherents. (WikiPedia)]
