Οι Τούρκοι έχουν λυσσαξει για αυτό το λόγο που παραθέτω παρακάτω και
είναι μεγάλη Νίκη του Ελληνο-Αμερικάνικου λόμπι στην Αμερική, πολεμήσαμε
πολύ σκληρά για αυτό το θέμα, αλλά δυστυχώς κανένας Έλληνας της Ελλάδας
δεν το γνωρίζει.
Πετύχαμε να περάσει νόμο το Κογκρέσο που υποχρεώνει τους Τούρκους να
επιστρέψουν την Αγιά Σοφία και άλλες εκκλησίες στο Πατριαρχείο στη Πόλη
και να γίνει πάλι Ορθόδοξη εκκλησία γιατί, όπως λένε οι Αμερικάνοι όλα
τα κτίρια που χτίστηκαν από Ορθοδόξους για να είναι εκκλησίες τους
πρέπει να τους επιστραφούν και να απαγορευτεί να γίνουν τζαμιά η μουσεία
η οτιδήποτε άλλο, οπότε οι Τούρκοι τώρα τα έχουν παίξει και κάνουν σα
λυσσασμένα σκυλια πάλι γιατί τους πιεζουν οι Αμερικάνοι να εφαρμοσουν το
νόμο περι Επιστροφη των Εκκλησιων στους Αρχικους τους Κατοχους (ετσι
ονομαζεται ο νομος).
Committee Grants Christians Freedom in Turkey By Christine Thomasos, Christian Post Reporter

After years of religious discrimination, the United States House
Committee on Foreign Affairs voted to adopt a Berman-Cicilline Amendment
which aims to end the oppression of Turkey s Christian minority. The
43-1 house vote that added a return of churches passage to H.R. 2583, a
State Department-Foreign Relation Authorization Act, called for the
protection of Christian citizens. Armenian, Greek and Assyrian-Chaldean
appear to be the groups most affected by the amendment that recognizes
the mistreatment of their people practicing Christianity in Turkey. The
driving force behind the passage of the amendment was Republican
California Representative Ed Royce, who said it is important to
recognize the wrongs being committed against Christians in Turkey.
Religious minorities are under grave threat in today s Turkey, said
Royce, a Republican from California. Rather than enjoying protection,
very vulnerable religious minority groups including the Ecumenical
Patriarchate of the Greek Orthodox Church are denied full legal status.
Ken Hachikian, chairman of the Armenian National Committee of America,
said the congressional committee vote was a step in the right direction
for Christians in Turkey.
We won this landmark victory in the face of years of Turkey s lies about
its supposed tolerance, and despite its token conversion of a few
ancient churches, said Hachikian, according to CNN-Turkey. Archbishop
Vicken Aykazian, Legate of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church,
was in attendance when the congressional committee voted in favor of the
bipartisan amendment. He expressed the importance of the vote. This is a
vote of justice against injustice, said Aykazian. I hope that this will
be the first of many steps towards preserving Armenian Christian
heritage in Turkey. The United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs
is responsible for overseeing and creating legislation regarding
foreign assistance. This type of assistance includes security and health
issues taking place overseas, according to the U.S. House of
Representatives website. The Berman-Cicilline Amendment recently passed
by the committee encourages the Turkish government to honor
international treaties and human rights laws. The amendment encourages
the Turkish government to allow the rightful church and lay owners of
Christian church properties, without hindrance or restriction, to
organize and administer prayer services, religious education, clerical
training, appointments, and succession, religious community gatherings,
social services, including ministry to the needs of the poor and infirm,
and other religious activities.
