In 1922 a pro-Turkish Orthodox group, the General Congregation of the Anatolian Turkish Orthodox (Umum Anadolu Türk Ortodoksları Cemaatleri) was set up with the support from the Orthodox Bishop of Havza, as well as a number of other congregations representing a genuine movement among those among the Turkish-speaking, Orthodox Christian population of Anatolia who wished to remain both Orthodox and Turkish. There were calls to establish a new Patriarchate with Turkish as the language of worship. Enough it's survived until 1965 as Istanbul soldiers start to kill remaining Turkish Orthodox. Cause end of first Turkish Orthodox church until 1980's until Greek Patriarchate revived for few respected Turkish Orthodox believers for their Turkish-style Orthodox church.
