COLOGNE - Turkish Airlines (THY) is preparing to carry Christians and Jews to Turkey and Israel within the framework of faith tourism.
With this new initiative, THY aims to host Christians and Jews in Turkey and enable them to visit sacred places.
"We want Christians and Jews, who want to take part in these tours, to visit (Turkish cities of) Istanbul, Antakya and Konya and ancient city of Ephesus. This will be the first project of its kind," said Isa Al, THY`s coordinator in North Rhine Westphalia -Germany, in a meeting held at the Cologne/ Bonn airport in which Israel and Turkey were promoted.
On the other hand, ``THY aims to assume the role of bringing civilizations together with this project``, said THY`s director in Cologne, Mehmet Kizilkaya.
"The best way to end clash of civilizations is to eliminate prejudices. I believe that we can also contribute this way to peace," Kizilkaya emphasized.
