MALATYA, Turkey — Christians around Turkey recently commemorated the deaths of three men slain April 15, 2007. The Malatya murders have become a milestone for the Turkish church. Turkish Christians Necati Aydin and Ugur Yuksel and German Christian Tilman Geske, who worked at a publishing house that distributed Christian material in this southeastern Turkish city, were found murdered three years ago.
“For the church, it’s another one of those events in life which we don’t understand but entrust it to the hands of a loving God who we believe in,” said Zekai Tanyar, chairman of the Association of Protestant Churches in Turkey.
