Assassination plot against Patriarch Bartholomew uncovered
15:16 - 10.05.13
An alleged plot against Fener Greek Orthodox Patriarchate Bartholomew
is being investigated by an Ankara public prosecutor, private
broadcaster NTV reported today.
The investigation was launched after a letter was sent from the
Central Anatolia province of Kayseri, claiming that the Istanbul-based
patriarch would be the target of an assassination attempt on May 29,
the 560th anniversary of Istanbul's conquest by Mehmed the Conqueror.
A man was detained and police forces are searching for two others. The
suspects recently arrived in Istanbul from Kayseri, police sources
said.
S.A., the detained suspect, refuted the claims and said he was in
Istanbul to visit his relatives and he had no intention or plan of
murdering Bartholomew.
A file opened by a Kayseri prosecutor has been handed over to the
Ankara public prosecutor.
The investigation revealed that another letter was sent to prosecutors
in 2008 claiming that S.A. was planning to murder Bartholemew.
