The World Council of Hellenes (SAE) has reiterated its demand for the re-opening of the Theological School of Halki, the premier Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople-affiliated seminary that was summarily closed by the Turkish government in 1971. SAE's leadership also called on supporters of the Istanbul-based Patriarchate to sign a petition found at the website of the Hellenic Electronic Center (HEC): www.greece.org/themis/halki "It is time for the government of Turkey to show that Turkey is indeed a modern democracy, which subscribes to the international standards for religious freedom," Chris Tomaras, a SAE vice-president, was quoted in a press release issued by the organization.
