Abstract:

 

A controversy concerning the Fener Greek Patriarchate started in Turkey in 1997. It was stated that  the Patriarchate could be used both for and against the interests of Turkey. On the one hand, it was  claimed that the Patriarchate had intentions to establish itself as an ecumenical church and become  a state like the Vatican; that the Orthodox world was trying to gain power in Turkey. On the other  hand, some people stated that Turkey could benefit from the prestigious position of the Patriarchate  and suggested an improvement in its status.  First of all, I want to stress that the Patriarchate no longer enjoys the importance it once possessed  in Greek-Turkish relations. Today, the Patriarchate is trying to become influential in  Turkish-American relations.
