[While Turkey is recognized officially as a “secular” country, 97.8% of the population
identifies as Muslim with only 2% declaring they are non-religious. About 72% of
Turkey’s Muslims are Sunnis, while Alevis/Shia form about 25% of the population.
There is a “Twelver Shia” community representing 3% of the Muslim population, and
an Alawite community consisting of an estimated 1 million adherents. (WikiPedia)]
