Turkey plans to reopen the Halki Theological School, a significant Greek Orthodox institution, after more than 50 years, following requests from the United States and the European Union. The announcement comes ahead of a NATO summit in which U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to participate in Ankara. The Halki Seminary, which has been closed since 1971, has been a historical center for training Greek Orthodox leaders, including the current Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I.
Reports indicate that Turkey's decision is partly influenced by diplomatic pressures from the U.S. and the EU, highlighting the long-standing request for the seminary's reopening as a point of contention in Turkey's relations with these Western institutions. The reopening process has been described as a strategic effort by the Turkish government to enhance its image and relations ahead of international discussions, particularly concerning NATO.
