BR\u00dcSSEL, Belgien \u2014 Das Europ\u00e4ische Parlament hat am 12. Februar eine Entschlie\u00dfung verabschiedet, in der die Ausweisung christlicher Missionare durch die T\u00fcrkei unter Vorw\u00e4nden der \u201enationalen Sicherheit\u201c, die von den Abgeordneten als undurchsichtig bezeichnet wurden, scharf verurteilt wird. Die Entschlie\u00dfung fordert die Hauptstadt Ankara auf, die Religionsfreiheit zu achten und den Betroffenen die R\u00fcckkehr zu erm\u00f6glichen.<\/p>\n

Das Europ\u00e4ische Parlament, die direkt gew\u00e4hlte gesetzgebende K\u00f6rperschaft der EU, vertritt \u00fcber 450 Millionen B\u00fcrger in 27 Mitgliedstaaten.<\/p>\n

Die Entschlie\u00dfung wurde nach einer Debatte am sp\u00e4ten Mittwochabend mit 502 Ja-Stimmen, zwei Nein-Stimmen und 59 Enthaltungen angenommen und spiegelt die partei\u00fcbergreifende Besorgnis \u00fcber die Behandlung ausl\u00e4ndischer christlicher Religionsarbeiter wider.<\/p>\n

Missionare als \u201eBedrohung der nationalen Sicherheit\u201c eingestuft<\/h2>\n

W\u00e4hrend der Debatte beschrieb der niederl\u00e4ndische Europaabgeordnete Bert-Jan Ruissen die Situation der Missionare in der T\u00fcrkei mit deutlichen Worten.<\/p>\n

\u201eSie bringen die gute Nachricht des Evangeliums, die Botschaft von Frieden und Vers\u00f6hnung durch Jesus Christus. Dann gelten Sie als Bedrohung der nationalen Sicherheit und d\u00fcrfen nicht mehr in das Land einreisen. Das ist die harte Realit\u00e4t f\u00fcr Missionare, die in der T\u00fcrkei arbeiten\u201c, sagte Ruissen.<\/p>\n

Er forderte die t\u00fcrkischen Beh\u00f6rden auf, \u201edie Religionsfreiheit ernst zu nehmen\u201c, und f\u00fcgte hinzu, dass die EU bei der Vertiefung der Beziehungen zu Ankara klar \u00fcber Grundrechte sprechen m\u00fcsse. <\/p>\n

\n

Wie Stadtplanung genutzt wird, um christliche Institutionen in der T\u00fcrkei zu untergraben<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201eDie T\u00fcrkei muss aufh\u00f6ren, Kirchen ins Visier zu nehmen, die Religions- oder Weltanschauungsfreiheit garantieren und es Christen erm\u00f6glichen, ihren Glauben frei zu teilen\u201c, sagte er.<\/p>\n

Mindestens 160 ausl\u00e4ndische christliche Mitarbeiter ausgewiesen oder an der Wiedereinreise gehindert<\/h2>\n

Laut ADF International<\/a>, mindestens 160 ausl\u00e4ndische christliche Mitarbeiter wurden zusammen mit ihren Familien in den letzten Jahren aus der T\u00fcrkei ausgewiesen oder an der Wiedereinreise gehindert, oft nachdem sie jahrzehntelang im Land gelebt und gearbeitet hatten.<\/p>\n

Viele der Betroffenen erhielten sogenannte \u201eN-82\u201c-Verwaltungscodes, eine Einstufung der nationalen Sicherheit, die verwendet wird, um Personen an der R\u00fcckkehr zu hindern. ADF International berichtet, dass diese Verbote oft ohne \u00f6ffentliche Begr\u00fcndung oder wirksame Rechtsbehelfe angewendet werden, sodass die Missionare ihre Ausweisung nicht anfechten k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n

Nach Angaben von ADF International sind derzeit etwa 20 diesbez\u00fcgliche F\u00e4lle vor dem Europ\u00e4ischen Gerichtshof f\u00fcr Menschenrechte anh\u00e4ngig, in denen die Kl\u00e4ger die Rechtm\u00e4\u00dfigkeit der Ausweisungen und Wiedereinreisebeschr\u00e4nkungen anfechten.<\/p>\n

Die angenommene Entschlie\u00dfung<\/a> fordert die t\u00fcrkischen Beh\u00f6rden auf, sicherzustellen, dass Ma\u00dfnahmen der nationalen Sicherheit nicht willk\u00fcrlich angewendet werden, und dr\u00e4ngt die T\u00fcrkei, ihre internationalen menschenrechtlichen Verpflichtungen einzuhalten, einschlie\u00dflich des Schutzes der Religions- oder Weltanschauungsfreiheit.<\/p>\n

Das t\u00fcrkische Au\u00dfenministerium ereignete sich Berichten zufolge<\/a> wies die Entschlie\u00dfung am 13. Februar zur\u00fcck und erkl\u00e4rte, die Behauptungen bez\u00fcglich der Meinungs- und Religionsfreiheit \u201ewidersprechen den Tatsachen\u201c und \u201ekeine ausl\u00e4ndische Institution, einschlie\u00dflich des Europ\u00e4ischen Parlaments, kann sich in die in unserem Land gef\u00fchrten Gerichtsverfahren einmischen.\u201c<\/p>\n

Entschlie\u00dfung belastet die Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der T\u00fcrkei weiter<\/h2>\n

Die Entschlie\u00dfung erfolgt vor dem Hintergrund langj\u00e4hriger Spannungen zwischen der EU und der T\u00fcrkei wegen Bedenken hinsichtlich der Menschenrechte und der Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Obwohl die T\u00fcrkei seit 1999 offiziellen EU-Beitrittskandidatenstatus hat, ist ihr seit langem ins Stocken geratener Beitrittsprozess faktisch eingefroren.<\/p>\n

Das Europ\u00e4ische Parlament hat wiederholt Bedenken hinsichtlich der Behandlung von Journalisten, Akteuren der Zivilgesellschaft und religi\u00f6sen Minderheiten im Land ge\u00e4u\u00dfert. Die Abstimmung am Donnerstag f\u00fcgt die Ausweisung christlicher Missionare der Liste der Themen hinzu, die unter parlamentarischer Beobachtung stehen.<\/p>\n

Obwohl Entschlie\u00dfungen des Europ\u00e4ischen Parlaments rechtlich nicht bindend sind, hat die angenommene Entschlie\u00dfung politisches Gewicht, signalisiert die Haltung der EU zur Religionsfreiheit und veranlasst die Europ\u00e4ische Kommission sowie den Europ\u00e4ischen Ausw\u00e4rtigen Dienst, den diplomatischen Dienst der EU, das Thema bei den t\u00fcrkischen Beh\u00f6rden anzusprechen.<\/p>\n

Der kroatische Europaabgeordnete Tomislav Sokol ordnete die Ausweisungen der T\u00fcrkei w\u00e4hrend der Debatte in einen breiteren globalen Kontext der Herausforderungen f\u00fcr die Religionsfreiheit ein. Er hob die anhaltende Verfolgung von Christen in Nigeria hervor, einschlie\u00dflich weit verbreiteter T\u00f6tungen und der Zerst\u00f6rung von Kirchen. Er warnte, dass die Ausweisungen der T\u00fcrkei eine andere, aber ebenso ernste Form der Verfolgung darstellten \u2013 einschlie\u00dflich administrativer Verbote, Abschiebungen, Kirchenschlie\u00dfungen und der Verweigerung von Rechtsschutz. Er f\u00fcgte hinzu: \u201eUnsere Glaubw\u00fcrdigkeit misst sich an unserer Bereitschaft, die Religionsfreiheit \u00fcberall und ohne doppelte Standards zu verteidigen.\u201c<\/p>\n
