Game of thrones in the Orthodox community in Turkey
A major cleaning operation was carried out in the Fener Patriarchate. Kadıköy Metropolitan Athanasios, number two after Patriarch Bartholomeos, was dismissed.

Game of thrones and related operations shocked the Fener Greek Patriarchate. Saint Synod Council, the decision-making body of the Fener Greek Patriarchate, dismissed Kadıköy Metropolitan Athanasios, who was number two after Patriarch Bartholomeos, on grounds of disobedience. Emanuil, born in Crete, Greece, was appointed to replace Athanasios, who was born in Kadıköy and graduated from the Heybeliada Seminary.

According to the reports in the Greek media, Athanasios, who was elected Metropolitan of Kadıköy in 2008, established close friendship with the former Metropolitan of the Karavriton region in Greece, who was known for his racist rhetoric and insulting Patriarch Bartholomeos many times in the past. Also, for household chores, the Russian Patriarch kept a pro-Cyrillic nun with him. Athanasios was attending the carnival activities of the Greek community in Istanbul by wearing carnival costumes, in a way that was incompatible with a clergyman. The patriarch endured Athanasios' behavior for a while. He warned himself many times. When Athanasios ignored, the Patriarch finally decided to dismiss him.

Alternative sources point out that there may be games dependent on other global actors behind this work. Sources believe that it is no coincidence that the current Patriarch Bartholomeos dismissed Athanasios, who was considered the strongest possible candidate after him, and appointed the Metropolitan of France instead. It is known that France followed a policy that incited Turkish and Islam hatred. For this reason, the world is criticized by the Muslim public. It is stated that the Orthodox Metropolitan of Fener in the country was effective in the war that France waged against Islam.
