Turkey and Ecumenical Patriarchate Religious Freedom Act of 2021 This bill requires reports on religious freedom in Turkey. The Department of State must report to Congress on the State Department's policy for promoting religious freedom in Turkey. If the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom recommends putting Turkey on the State Department's special watch list of countries that engage in or tolerate severe violations of religious freedom but the State Department does not do so, the President must report to Congress a justification for the decision. The President shall not have to make this report if Turkey is added to the special watch list or designated a country of particular concern for religious freedom.
