“The provocations that have been made one after the other in the last few days and the sabotage aimed at the spirit of our national unity and solidarity, will not be able to divert us from our path,” says Bakhceli.
The Ecumenical Patriarch went to Trabzon and was presented with the Trabzonspor jersey with the name “Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew” on it.
The president of the Nationalist Action party, Devlet Bakhceli, clearly annoyed, commented on this move.
“The provocations that have been made one after the other in the last few days and the sabotages aimed at the spirit of our national unity and solidarity, will not be able to divert us from our path. One of these challenges is the gift of the Trabzonspor jersey with the inscription “ecumenical” to the Roman Patriarch of the Phanarius Bartholomew, who came to Trabzon for the 9th time to officiate at Sumela Monastery. In addition to scandalous, this heartbreaking plot is a challenge with a very high tone of incitement, destruction and harassment. It is obvious that this disgrace, which is an insult to our esteemed citizens who love our Trabzonspor and this club, will not be accepted by any conscience. There is no Ecumenical institution and job description in Turkey. According to the Treaty of Lausanne, while it provided that the Roman Patriarch of the Phanar should not deal with political and administrative affairs and provide spiritual services to our Greek Orthodox citizens in our country, he will have no other capacity than a religious official. under the Office of the Regional Governor Fatih.”
