I Konstantinopel er vi et meget lille kristnet mindretal - men vi er tyrkiske statsborgere, og som minoritet lever vi op til vores forpligtelser over for staten.
In Constantinople we are a very small Christian minority, but we are Turkish citizens and, as a minority, entirely fulfil our obligations to the state.
Men vi behandles ikke altid ligeværdigt med muslimerne.
But we do not always receive equal treatment with majority Muslims.
Vi føler os som andenrangsborgere, og det er vi kede af.
It saddens us to feel somehow second-class citizens.
Nogle har betegnet dem som "den grønne patriark" på grund af deres engagement i miljøspørgsmål.
You have been called the "Green Patriarch" for supporting environmental issues.
Hvorfor dette engagement?
Why have you backed such causes?
Jeg har arvet interessen for økologi fra min forgænger (den nu afdøde patriark, Dimitrios), som udnævnte den 1. september til dagen for beskyttelse af miljøet.
I inherited this interest in ecology from my predecessor, the late Patriarch Dimitrios, who established 1 September as a day of prayer for the protection of the environment.
Beskyttelse af miljøet er en presserende og vigtig udfordring overalt på kloden.
This is an urgent and critical issue in all corners of the globe.
Kirken har en pligt til at deltage.
The church has a duty to do something.
Kirken skal bestræbe sig på at højne befolkningens bevidsthed, og især de unges bevidsthed, da de sidder med nøglen til planetens fremtid.
It must raise awareness among people, particularly the young, because the future of the planet is in their hands.
Miljøspørgsmålet er noget, der berører os alle - kristne som ikke-kristne.
Environmental issues affect us all - Christians and non-Christians - because the planet is our common home, our "oikos".
Vi vil organisere symposier hvert andet år, hvor folk fra andre religioner eller med andre specialer vil blive inviteret (f.eks. biologer, miljøforskere, gejstlige osv.).
We organize symposia on average every two years, to which we invite not only Christians but also people from other religions and specialities (biologists, environmentalists, clergy, etc).
Sammen forsøger vi at skabe en dialog mellem videnskab og religion.
We are attempting to stimulate dialogue between science and religion.
De har meget klare holdninger til både den interreligiøse dialog og forholdet mellem Tyrkiet og dets naboer.
You have a very particular perspective both on inter-religious dialogue and on relations between Turkey and its neighbours.
Tror de, at det vil komme til at påvirke de igangværende EU-optagelsesforhandlinger med Tyrkiet?
Do you think these are factors that will influence the ongoing accession negotiations between Turkey and the EU?
Tyrkiet har gode relationer til alle sine naboer, herunder de tre ortodokse lande Grækenland, Bulgarien og Rumænien.
Turkey has good relations with all its neighbours, including Greece, Bulgaria and Romania, three Orthodox countries and now members of the EU.
Disse relationer vil hjælpe Tyrkiet i tiltrædelsesforhandlingerne, men de vil også bidrage til det gode af naboskab mellem folkene, der i stedet for at dræbe hinanden og bruge millioner på våben vil være i stand til at skabe et fredeligt og kreativt samarbejde.
These relations will help Turkey in its accession negotiations, but will also benefit the peoples of the wider neighbourhood, who instead of killing each other and spending billions on armaments, can learn to coexist peacefully and to use their money for public works, education and so on, rather than for weapons.
Mange hævder, at Tyrkiet udelukkende er et muslimsk land, og at det derfor ingen plads har i Europa.
Many say that Turkey, as an almost entirely a Muslim country, has no place in Europe.
Vi mener derimod ikke, at religionsforskelle skal være en hindring.
We believe that the difference of religion should not be an obstacle.
Hvis Tyrkiet opfylder alle de kriterier, som pålægges et kandidatland, bør de optages i EU, selvom landets befolkning består af muslimer.
If Turkey fulfils all the criteria for candidate countries, it can be accepted to the EU even if its population is Muslim.
Det er en anden verden, men det er en verden som kan eksistere side om side med den kristne verden.
This is a different world, but it can coexist with the Christian world, as it has happened many times in the past and in many places across the globe.
I Europa er der plads til alle, så længe vi formår at tilpasse os.
In Europe there is room for everyone, as long as we adapt and avoid living in ghettos.

Parlamentarikere ønsker fri bevægelighed for viden
Joint Parliamentary Meeting on Lisbon Strategy calls for free movement of knowledge
Fri bevægelighed for viden, mindre bureaukrati og øgede investeringer i uddannelse og arbejdsmarkedet samt mere støtte til de små og mellemstore virksomheder, var blandt anbefalingerne fra de mere end 100 parlamentarikere fra hele Europa, som mandag og tirsdag sammen med medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet deltog i det fjerde interparlamentariske møde om Lissabonstrategien.
Free movement of knowledge, cutting red tape, investment in education and the labour markets, and more support for SMEs were among the things MEPs and national MPs recommended at Tuesday's closing session of the fourth Joint Parliamentary Meeting on the Lisbon Strategy to promote competitiveness, growth and jobs.
Han understregede i den forbindelse, at Kommissionen havde foreslået en række initiativer for at mindske bureaukratiet særligt i forhold til små- og mellemstore virksomheder, som er med til at skabe 9 ud af 10 nye job i EU.
Responding to globalisation through research and development
Han tilføjede, at skattemæssige incitamenter skulle overvejes for at sikre flere private investeringer.
He added that tax incentives should be considered "to leverage public investment to get more private investment".
Fra arbejdsgruppen om arbejdsmarkedsspørgsmål, mente MEP Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL, PT), at der skulle investeres mere i menneskelige ressourcer.
"We need to invest more in human resources", said Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL, PT), summarising the conclusions of the working group on labour market measures.
Hun understregede, at man, hvis man skulle imødegå den demografiske udvikling var nødt til at gøre noget for at mindske antallet af unge, der dropper ud af skolen for tidligt, og at handicappede skal integreres bedre på arbejdsmarkedet.
The only way of "preventing the demographic deficit getting worse", she said, is to "stop some six million people from leaving school earlier" and to involve disabled people more extensively in the labour market.
Han mente, at det var vigtigt med en femte 'fri bevægelighed' - nemlig fri bevægelighed for viden.
He called for the implementation of a "Fifth Freedom", the free movement of knowledge.
Han tilføjede, at det også var vigtigt med en fælles energipolitik so, kunne være med til at gøre Europa til en rollemodel for resten af verden og ledende i forhold til kampen mod global opvarmning.
He added that a common energy policy should "bring incentives for research and development of new technologies thus turning Europe into a world model and leading player in the fight against global warming".
Lissabonstrategien blev lanceret i 2000 med det formål at gøre EU til den mest konkurrencedygtige og dynamiske vidensøkonomi i verden inden 2010.
Mr Cukjati was backed by Slovenian Minister for Growth and Development Žiga Turk, who said that "we need a scientific breakthrough to change into a low-carbon economy; we should enter global markets with new, innovative products and services".
Resultaterne ved midtvejsevalueringen levede ikke op til forventningerne, og strategien blev relanceret i 2005 med fornyet fokus på at sætte skub i vækst og skabelsen af flere job.
The minister concluded that "we need more high-innovative and creative SMEs and we should provide them with better access to knowledge, research infrastructure and capital".
Det er fjerde gang, at parlamentarikere fra de nationale parlamenter i medlemslandene og fra Europa-Parlamentet mødes til Interparlamentarisk møde om Lissabonstrategien.
"Our major challenge is to ensure that the Lisbon Strategy does not become another bureaucratic exercise", said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
