We conducted our first Lifestyles Survey in 2008 and our second in 2015, and repeated it in 2018. The survey was conducted in Turkey through face-to-face interviews with 5793 people in their households, in April, 2018. Our aim was to look more closely to everyday practices and values of the society, to understand how social layers with different lifestyles live and to cover the changed or unchanged trends in the society in the last 10 years.

This information can be found at the link at the bottom of the article. Perhaps you did not click on the link, or you might have read that they interviewed 5,793 people over a 10 year period.

So the article supports my observation that theists in Turkey are becoming more tolerant.

Perhaps you also conducted a similar survey while in the Armed Forces? If so, how much free time did you have?

So before responding, it might have been better if you had read the links at the bottom. Just my suggestion.
