Snubbed by Turkish officials, Pompeo meets with leader of Orthodox Christians
2020-11-18
[IsraelTimes] US State Secretary Mike Pompeo meets with the Istanbul-based spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians during a short trip to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
that has raised the ire of Ottoman Turkish officials and includes no meetings with any of them.

Pompeo, who is on a seven-country tour of Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the Middle East, tweets pictures of him being greeted by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the leader of some 300 million Orthodox Christians, after being shown around the Patriarchate. He is also scheduled to meet with the apostolic nuncio to Turkey, Archbishop Paul Russell.

The talks are to center on religious freedoms in Turkey, which has angered Ankara and prompted officials to call on Washington to focus on human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
violations in the United States.

Last week, Turkey issued a sharply worded statement criticizing Pompeo’s plans and said Washington should "look in the mirror" and deal with issues such as racism, Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
and hate crimes.
