ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The attempt to establish a Turkish national church for the Turkish-speaking Orthodox populations of the inner Asia Minor took place during the Greek-Turkish confrontation in 1919-1922. Efthymios Karachisaridis, known as Papa Eftim, played a leading part in the establishment of an independent Turkish-Orthodox Church, with the support of the Turkish state. In essence, the Turkish-Orthodox Church ended up being a family affair for the appropriation of the real estate of the community of Galata. |
