Patriarch Meletios Metaksakis And Istanbul Greek-Orthodox Patriarchate (1921 - 1923)

The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Istanbul was included in the administrative system of the Ottoman Empire with the conquest of Istanbul in 1453, and the entry of the Patriarchate into the Ottoman structure took place without any problems. As a matter of fact, the famous historical answer of a clergyman of that period, "I would rather see an Ottoman turban rather than a Catholic cone in Byzantium", to those who offered to ask for help from Catholics, is important in this respect. In other words, they were not very disturbed by entering the domination of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman sultan and the conqueror of Istanbul, Sultan Mehmet, also relieved them by leaving them free in their religion and giving the administration of their congregations to the churches. This meant that the Greek Patriarchate of Istanbul was the representative of all Orthodox. Granting such a concession did not pose a problem at a time when the Ottoman Empire was very powerful. It even had a positive function in tearing apart the Christian world. However, the same cannot be said for a nation that has been torn apart from a world war, with its arm and wing broken, trying to hold on to its geography. This will only be an opportunity for those who want to realize their own goals in the difficult situation the country is in. It will not be difficult to evaluate the attitude and attitude of Meletios, who was patriarch between 1921-1923, towards the national struggle, based on this reality. This study in your hand gives quite striking information about the general situation of the Patriarchate in the Ottoman Empire in 1921-1923, but especially about its activities during its weak periods.
