Holding his "double-headed snake" staff in his hand, the Greek Patriarch of Fener, Bartholomew, said after a mass he held in an old church in Central Anatolia on May 7, 2000, "Türkiye's EU membership should allow Christians to live again in the regions where Christian communities previously existed in Anatolia.
.
If EU membership makes this possible and Christians resettle in the regions where they lived, then the Patriarchate may consider reopening the churches in those regions for religious services."
.
While reading the work, always keep in mind the above words of Bartholomew, who walks around with his double-headed snake staff.
Because there is a direct connection between these words of Bartholomew and the Greek strategy implemented in Istanbul, the Black Sea region and Western Anatolia!
