Turkish government now recognises us officially: Bartholomew I

The Turkish government now recognizes us officially, says Bartholomew I...The implications of the return to the Patriarchate of the ‘Tapu’ (title deed) are of great significance. “The Turkish government did not appeal against the court’s ruling, starting instead the procedures to return us the orphanage,” Bartholomew said. “I want to stress the tapu by Turkish authorities is issued in the name of our Patriarchate, as Rum Patrikanesi. This means not only the return of the orphanage but also the official recognition of our Patriarchate as a legal person. This is a positive step.”... Maybe this was posted elsewhere and I missed it.

One small step, hopefully the first of many.
Many years,
