Хубаво е, че продължават да се виждат редовно. Подаръкът с старите карти на града ми се стори много подходящ, особено за Патриарха, който толкова държи на историята на мястото. Надявам се да помогне и за проблемите на ромейската общност там.

Good that they continue these visits. The panoramic photo of the City and the old maps that Mr. Aslan brought seemed to me a very fitting gift, especially for the Patriarch who knows so much about history. I hope that a way will be found to help the Roman Community in its practical problems.

A good tradition of these visits. A gift with old maps of the city is exactly on point; Patriarch Bartholomew really knows the history of these places well. I hope the conversations will also help with the issues of the Roman community.
