A demonstration in support of minorities in Turkey was held on January 9, 2010, outside the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople, the Orthodox Beacon website reports today. The event was organized by a coalition of liberal and leftist organizations called "70 Million steps against coups."
Demonstrators outside the Ecumenical Patriarchate held banners reading in Greek "all people are brothers" and in Turkish "bring coup instigators and those planning 'Klovos' to justice."
Turkey's justice department recently revealed that "Klovos" is a plan for some forces in the Turkish army to perform assassinations.
Demonstrators say that Patriarch Bartholomew would be the victim of the first planned assassination, according to the "Klovos" plan, and stress that they will not allow a new coup to occur.
