AHI Calls Israel's Failure To Recognize Patriarch Irineos Of Jerusalem A Violation Of Religious Freedom

NEW YORK -- On Tuesday, April 30, 2002, the American Hellenic Institute's (AHI) founder Gene Rossides sent a letter to President Bush protesting Israel's failure to recognize the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Irineos, as a violation of religious freedom and urged the President to pressure the Israeli government to grant recognition to the Patriarch, and to protest any law which requires state approval of a religious leader.
