News reports in Turkey on Friday claimed that an assassination plot was planned against His Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, and what is worse that it would be carried out on the anniversary of the Fall of Constantinople!

Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos is the spiritual head of the world's 300+ million Orthodox Christians.

According to press reports in Greece, the plot was apparently going to be executed by a group of fanatics and it looks like it is linked to the 'Sledgehammer' plot against Greece. For all of those who are unfamiliar with this plot, HellasFrappe suggests that you read a story we posted several months ago about this very issue.
    "Ergenokon, or Operation Sledgehammer", is an alleged plan by a gang of ultra nationalist Turkish secularists, who are accused of plotting to trigger a military coup to topple the ruling Islamic-slanted Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey by fomenting chaos in society with assassinations and bombings. It is also thought to be part of the “Deep State,” an alleged unofficial organization of bureaucracy and military operating behind the scenes of the official state structure."

The same reports in Turkey also claim that authorities have arrested one man who is connected to the alleged assassination plot, while two more suspects are pending arrest.

The plot was uncovered through a letter that was sent from the central Anatolian province of Kayseri, and which claimed that the head of the world's Orthodox Church would be the target of a murder attempt on May 29, or the 560th anniversary of the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire.

A Turkish broadcaster said on Thursday that a prosecutor in Ankara has already launched an investigation into the allegations and the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News said that another letter was sent to prosecutors in 2008 claiming that the detained man was planning to murder Vartholomeos.
