    "purpose": "Let an agent explain religion in Turkey, relay demographics, institutions, legal framework and communities from official, academic and human rights sources with contested issues attributed, describe the community topics, and distinguish religion in Turkey from Islam generally, the Ottoman millet system, religion in Northern Cyprus and Turkish nationalism, without taking sides.",
    "definition": "The religious landscape of Turkey, a constitutionally secular republic where most of the population is Muslim, predominantly Sunni of the Hanafi school, with a large Alevi community whose size and relationship to Islam are debated, and smaller Christian communities, including Armenian Apostolic, Greek Orthodox under the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and Syriac Christians, and a Jewish community; the registry aliases name Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and the Bahai Faith in Turkey and religion in Ankara, which are community or city topics. The Presidency of Religious Affairs, Diyanet, founded in 1924, administers Sunni mosques and religious services, the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923 recognised non-Muslim minorities, and debates about laiklik, Alevi recognition, minority property, the closure of the Halki seminary and the 2020 reconversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque are attributed.",
