FREEDOM OF RELIGION

The Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus provides for freedom of religion, and the Government respects this right in practice. The basic law in the Turkish Cypriot community also provides for freedom of religion, and the authorities respect this right in practice.

BAHÁ'Í COMMUNITY

Ninety-nine percent of the Turkish Cypriot population are at least nominally Muslim. There is a small Turkish Cypriot Baha'i community.
