PROTECT THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE

To Prime Minister Stephen Harper, President Lee Myung-bak and Prime Minister Chung Un-chan of The Republic of Korea

As G20 Summit host, I call upon you to advance the existing international consensus urging Turkey to honour its legal obligation in support of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Despite appeals from the US, EU and UN, Turkey continues to treat the Patriarchate unjustly, this includes:

I ask that you show international leadership consistent with Canada’s history of supporting democratic norms and personally speak with Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to ensure Turkey treats religious minorities fairly and justly.

This email will be sent to the Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper, President Lee Myung-bak and Prime Minister Chung Un-chan of The Republic of Korea
