Dr. Prodromou, making her presentation as an academic, examined why religious freedom is often overlooked by the international community.  She also explored how religious freedom is relevant to finding a solution to the Cyprus problem.  Dr. Prodromou cited that Turkey is a signatory to a whole host of treaties intended to safeguard religious freedom, and that Turkey is a “systematic” and “egregious” violator those treaties.  She also noted that the U.S. Commission on International Freedom recently added Turkey to its “watch list.”
