It's not just the judiciary that Hezbollah & co are after They have looked to key ministries like Public Works due to receive $$ for projects and the Finance Ministry allowing them to negotiate on reforms More on that here in my latest w/ @MiddleEastInst

The views from the Athens - Thessaloniki train. I’ve done the trip three times and was always telling people it’s the best way to go from each city. Sad to know it was being operated so poorly. Memory eternal to the victims and may there be justice

I have to admit it’s pretty stunning @HudsonInstitute employs someone who calls recognizing a holocaust “beyond dumb.” Is this what the institute stands for?

Saw the movie “Smyrna My Beloved” and still deeply moved. In a way it really captured the whole narrative and why Smyrna meant so much to so many people. It’s destruction at the hands of the genocidal Kemalists shouldn’t be forgotten (thread) youtu.be/M1nf2COUxPk
Absolutely amazing to see my old boss @ericadamsfornyc meet with the mayor of one of my favorite cities 🤩
Athens, Greece, became the newest "sister city" to New York as their two mayors signed a symbolic agreement. greekcitytimes.com/2022/12/0…

A blessed name day to our blessed Archbishop@Elpidophoros !
I am deeply touched and truly humbled by your many well wishes today for my nameday. And my joy is made complete by the spiritual happiness occasioned by the 31st Anniversary of HAH EP Bartholomew’s Enthronement, an ineffable blessing for both the Orthodox and secular worlds.

#BoycottDoran please @HudsonInstitute stop funding someone who thinks the recognition of a major holocaust as something “dumb” you should be ashamed of yourselves for employing him

If you want to know more about Smyrna, why it was so important, and the horrors perpetrated there by Attaturks army watch Smyrna Paradise Lost which hosts Jewish Armenian Greek and Turkish accounts of the city youtu.be/kxuSGgz57Co

Also here’s a great explainer for what’s behind the ongoing conflict in Armenia. youtu.be/YU2v38hRRbg
I love this episode on the History of Turkey podcast that actually cements the fact of cultural erasure committed by the Turkish state. While Thessaloniki kept its Turkish quarter Attaturk had the Greek & Armo neighborhoods of Izmir razed podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Memory Eternal to one of the greats!
The repose of Met. Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia is truly a watershed moment for world Orthodoxy. So many Anglophone Orthodox received such blessings from his books and teaching. May he also receive the reward of a good and faithful servant in the Kingdom. Eternal Memory!
Things you find in your back pack after traveling through Greece: 5 euro note for freddo espresso and an icon of St Spyridon. Both very essential
