"Question No. 3 by Dimitrios Papadimoulis ()
On the occasion of an invitation to a reception in which the Patriarch of Constantinople was referred to as 'ecumenical', the Turkish Government issued a circular requesting that no State official should attend and stated that 'we consider it an error for one of our citizens to issue invitations, using titles which he does not possess and which are conferred on him from abroad'. Furthermore, information was made public recently that the new national security doctrine in Turkey will state that 'efforts to overcome the existing regime of the Patriarchate and re-open the Chalki Theological School must be resisted'.
Attacks of this kind against the Ecumenical Patriarchate are becoming increasingly frequent and demonstrate that Turkey's position on the above matters is inflexible, despite the fact that for the European Union they constitute an important criterion for democratisation in Turkey.
How does the Council intend to intervene directly to protect the Ecumenical Patriarchate, given that statements of this kind have, even very recently, triggered acts of terrorism and 'spontaneous' demonstrations by extremist elements against the Ecumenical Patriarchate?"@en1
