"The spiritual head of Orthodox Christians said on Monday he was hoping that the situation for the Christian minority in predominantly Muslim Turkey would improve after the country's elections due later this year."
""We want that our country makes changes and reforms not under the pressure of any other country or of Brussels, but because this is needed for the Turkish people," he said.
"We are part of the Turkish society, were born in Turkey, studied in Turkey, are working in Turkey, and we shall die in Turkey," he said. "So we want to feel not as citizens of a second class but as citizens of equal rights to the majority."
