Catholic Church in Turkey Attacked – Again - The Globalist
By Aykan Erdemir, March 11, 2018

A lone gunman fired a shot Tuesday evening through the window of the Saint Maria Catholic Church in Trabzon, a city on Turkey’s Black Sea coast. This is the fifth confirmed attack against the church since the assassination of its priest Andrea Santoro in 2006.

Mobs also targeted Saint Maria, attacking its gates with hammers and breaking its windows, in the immediate aftermath of Turkey’s 2016 abortive coup, which led to wide-scale scapegoating and intimidation of Turkey’s Christians.

Ankara’s culture of impunity and the systematic incitement in pro-government media continue to put Turkey’s religious minorities at risk of hate crimes.

I didn't see anyone getting killed since that assassination in '06; but bad enough and something to watch.
