Other ethnic and religious minorities, including Alevis, Ezidis, Assyrians, Kurds, Caferis, Caucasians, Laz, and Roma, were "prohibited from fully exercising their linguistic, religious, and cultural rights and faced intense pressure to assimilate," the State Department said, citing the NGO Minority Rights Group International.
Drugim nacionalnim i verskim manjinama, uključujući Alevite, Ezide, Asirce, Kurde, Kafare, Kavkasce, Laze i Rome, "zabranjeno je da u potpunosti uživaju svoja jezička, verska i kulturna prava i nalaze se pod velikim pritiskom da se asimiluju", navodi Stejt department, citirajući nevladinu grupu Minority Rights Group International.
