Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the death of former President of the Republic of Turkey Turgut Özal, visited his grave and laid flowers, as he does each year.
Turgut Özal had supported the Ecumenical Patriarchate by issuing, after many years of delay, the permits for the reconstruction of the current Patriarchal residence in the Phanar.
