The first Atheism Association has been officially founded in Turkey, becoming a legal address in an effort to stand up for the rights of atheists in the country, daily Radikal has reported.
No atheists will be alone anymore, either on the streets or in courts, the association said via its official Twitter account.
It also invited everyone who wants to meet or be a member to its office, located in Istanbuls Kadıköy district.
In an interview with daily Agos last month, the founders of the Initiative of Atheism Association, Tolga İnci and Ahmet Balyemez, said they thought there should be a place to provide legal support to people facing problems as atheists.
