The Turks are bestowing our own rights upon us as a gift, and we are acting quite pleased. We are like a little child, whose family has been killed, whose entire legacy has been stolen and then, with a shiny toy thrown before him, he goes wild with joy over it. In 1912, by official Turkish data, there were more than two thousand functioning – let me stress that, functioning – churches and monasteries within the Ottoman Empire. They have been illegally occupied by the Republic of Turkey. Let them first return or provide compensation for the property to its rightful owner, the Church, that is, the community, which is to say that it belongs to all of us.
