As Ayhan Aktar of Bilgi University points out, "The early Republican period of modern Turkey showed a state policy that wanted non-Muslims to leave Turkey and, if possible, by leaving their property and goods behind them." Therefore, the new decree can be seen in light of the state redefining its relationship with religious minority groups.
Затоа, новиот декрет може да се погледне од аспект на редефинирањето од страна на државата на својот однос со верските малцински групи.
