Regarding the role of Shiites in political and social affairs, the expert on Turkish issues stated, “There are no restrictions on the Shiites from the Turkish government, and they are active. But they neither have much contact with the outside their circle nor are they very active in social affairs. Shiites in Turkey do not have a political party, and they keep themselves on the margins of society, in other words, they are cautious.”

In a statement, while denouncing the terrorist attack in Parachinar, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, emphasized, “Confronting terror, striving for Islamic unity, and maintaining the security of society are issues that should be paid more attention to by the Muslims of Pakistan and the international community.”

The Afghan member of the General Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Shiites are a minority in Afghanistan, and they constitute only about a quarter of the country’s population. Being a minority has caused various obstacles for the country’s Shiites, and the efforts to remove these obstacles have not been enough so far.”

In a statement, the Vice Chairman of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly expressed his condolences for the terrorist incident in Parachinar and the martyrdom of several Pakistani Shiite teachers.

A member of the General Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly from India stated, “More than 70% of people in India are Hindus, and Muslims are a minority in the country. Therefore, in general, the Muslims of India are facing challenges. When Muslims are a minority in the country, the Shiites of India are considered a minority within a minority.”

The representative of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Afghanistan stated, “There is no Shiite at the level of a minister in the composition of the cabinet and in political and executive matters. While in the past governments, there were Shiites in the cabinet.”
