NIENTE PREGHIERE A SANTA SOFIA
The effort of the “International Parish of Saint Sofia” organization to visit Istanbul and conduct religious services there were cancelled. The services took place in Kipi, Evros, Greece. The visit was cancelled yesterday by Turkey. President of the International Parish of Saint Sofia Chris Spirou received a letter from the Turkish Ambassador in Athens. The letter stated that the Turkish government announced that the visit and religious service in St. Sofia would not be permitted.
Spirou along with additional members decided to cancel their visit to Istanbul. They didn’t want to give to the Turkish government the opportunity to claim that prayer is provocative.
Now legal advisers of the organization will take over. The next meeting will be in Strasbourg, France at the Court for Human Rights.
