The Orthodox church is a Christian church and it was established in Istanbul because there were 2 popes during this time after the Savior was crucified.
The Orthodox church needs to move out of Turkey if the Mooselimb population does not want them there in Turkey.
Of course, this would hurt the tourism industry in Istanbul.
There is a lot of church history in this part of Turkey.

Yes, Uzay mentioned that in the article.
Increasingly, Turkey under Erdogan the Islamist is totally incompatible with the West and NATO.

And the churches the history the artifacts?
Agia Sophia is a church
Priceless artwork in churches?
The official line of the government sponsored religion is that Christianity is an extinct religion.
The only thing propping turkey together is their oil pipeline network.
