In his message, Prime Minister Erdogan said that Turkey was a country where different faiths and cultures lived together for centuries and that differences were viewed as richness.
"Turkey's soil is a symbol of love and tolerance among civilizations. Turkey has a rich heritage in which all societies, regardless of faith, can live their own religious and cultural values, implement their own traditions and freely celebrate their special days. I offer my best wishes to our Jewish citizens and wish them a new year with health, happiness, tranquility and well being," Erdogan also said in his message.
