(MENAFN) An event at Istanbul’s historic Buyukada Greek Orthodox Orphanage that was closed since 1964 requested collaboration to open an extensive rebuilding scheme for the iconic structure.

Patriarch Bartholomew I, the Istanbul-based leader of many of the world’s Orthodox Christians, stated at the event that the Fener Greek Orthodox Patriarchate is making efforts to reinstate the structure, also identified as Pringipos Greek Orthodox Orphanage, regardless of all the technical and financial problems.

Bartholomew, who held the event, said for restoration “we wish to reach out to state authorities, municipalities, non-governmental organizations, and all Istanbul lovers to get their support.”

Bartholomew added “Only with the strength to come out of such a comprehensive cooperation, this problem can be solved and the orphanage can be brought back to Istanbul, which is described as the queen of cities.”
