New Turkish Law Gives
Autonomy to Jews
ISTANBUL (JTA) — Eighteen
seats on the Jewish Com-
munity's General Assembly here
which have remained vacant for
over a decade will shortly be
filled by appointment, the Chief
Rabbinate of Turkey announced.
The Assembly is a 60-member
body representing both lay and
religious organizations.
The action follows the recent
government decree giving the
Jewish community autonomy in
the control of its own communal
institution. Previously, Jews
could not hold an election to
fill the seats left vacant by
death and resignation because
the necessary permission was
not granted by the Governor of
Istanbul.
