His All-Holiness visits Dogus University
On Wednesday, March 9, 2011, His All-Holiness attended a symposium held at Dogus University in Istanbul on the introduction of an ombudsman in Turkish life and legislation. The opening lecture was delivered by Professor Nikiforos Diamandouros, European Ombudsman. His All-Holiness also had the opportunity to speak with local students.

Afterward, His All-Holiness visited the local Greek cemetery of St. Ignatius and recited a memorial service before the tombs of the late Metropolitans Meliton of Chalcedon and Photios of Herakleia (formerly of Imvros and Tenedos), as well as his late parents, Christos and Merope Archontoni.
