| The Pope called on Germany and Austria-Hungary to pressure their Turkish ally to stop the killings and made a personal appeal on behalf of the suffering Armenians to the Ottoman Empire's Sultan Mehmed V, who was also the Islamic Caliph (spiritual leader of Muslims). Mehmed was arrested and thrown into prison, but Mojtaba managed to escape to Turkey, where he lives in constant fear of being deported. When Constantinople fell to Mehmed II in 1453, more than a century before Lepanto, the Turks believed themselves to be on the road to universal dominion. |
