<p>In order for religious groups to establish new places of worship in Turkey they
must apply to the Turkish government for them to be legally recognised as places of
worship. If constructing a new building as a place of worship, religious groups must
first apply for permission from the municipality to do so. It is against the law to
hold religious services at a location not recognized by the government as a place
of worship; the government may fine or close the venues of those violating the law.</p>
