The kingdom of heaven to her. I managed to notice that the Patriarch himself led the funeral service and said a kind word about her work on human rights - it’s worth a lot. It's a pity that such educated Romans are leaving.

Kingdom of Heaven. Yes, the fact that the Patriarch himself led the funeral service is truly a sign of great respect for her work. It’s a pity that there are fewer and fewer such Romans left in Istanbul, especially from the university environment.
