obvious bait but nonetheless
>After the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey on October 29, 1923, the Turkish state only recognizes the Patriarch as the spiritual leader of the Greek minority in Turkey, and officially refers to him as the "Greek Orthodox Patriarch of the Phanar" or "Roman Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople" (Turkish: Fener Rum Ortodoks Patriği) (Phanar is the neighbourhood in Istanbul where the patriarchate is located). According to Turkish law, still in force today, he is subject to the authority of the Republic of Turkey; however, Turkey allows the Standing Synod of Metropolitan Bishops to elect the Patriarch.
Also, the patriarch doesn't really have that much power anyways, the patriarch of Athens is stronger

Do you think Russia will liberate Constantinople?

I think Turkish army will blow up Hagia Sophia as they abandon the city :(

There is more than one patriarch?

But Catholics have one pope

So Orthodox have many leaders?

Also the church traditionally supported the Ottomans
So if the Turks decide to remove the holy gyros from Poli
I wouldn't be THAT sad.
