Turkey has officially been a secular country since its 1924 constitution was amended in 1928. This was later strengthened and entrenched with the wider appliance of laicism by founder Atatürk during the mid-1930s, as part of the Republican reforms. Strtict regulations on religion, including a ban on Islamic attire was imposed. The rights of Armenian Apostolic, Greek Orthodox and Jewish citizens were recognized under the Treaty of Lausanne.
In a poll conducted by Sabancı University in 2006, 98.3% of Turks revealed they were Muslim.
