Text transcribed from caption: PC-31000 OUSTED GREEK ORTHODOX PRELATES REACH U.S. NEW YORK -- Two high-ranking Greek Orthodox metropolitans, ousted from Turkey for alleged “actions harmful to the state,” arrived in New York after visits to London, Paris and Geneva. At a press conference in New York at the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America, Metropolitan Iakovos of Philadelphia (left) and Metropolitan Emilianos of Selefkias denied any actions against Turkey. Their forced departure was described as a political pressure move against the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, which has been under increased harassment during the Greek-Turkish conflict on Cyprus.
