| description | Turks, who believe in Islam, were not the only ones
who raise their voice against the invasion of Anatolia that started after the
Armistice of Mudros. Turks who had lived as non-moslem since Seljuk times,
namely Christian Turks, also opposed to the invasion of Anatolia and gave full
support to the national struggle. Undoubtedly, Pope Eftim played a great role
in the organization of Christian Turks against patriarchateand struggles over
against subversive activities that Fener Greek Patriarchate carried out
opposing to the National Struggle. Although the efforts of Pope Eftim and
Orthodox Turksin the National Struggle and those efforts were considerably
important, this issue has been of interest to researchers for the last few
years. We could say that the reason why researchers had not been interested in
the importance of Orthodox Turks in the National struggle until recently might
be their being counted in Greek population and included in population exchange
and the decrease of their population in Anatolia, almost scarcely any. The
purpose of this study is to investigate the efforts of Christian Orthodox Turks
and reveal their significancein the National Struggle. To comprehend the importance
of Orthodox Turks in Turkish National Independence War, it would be beneficial
to start with Pope Eftim’s short biography reflecting his feelings and ideas
during National Struggle. |
