Has Putin called Erdogan to solicit the Turkish Orthodox Church challenge to the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church?

in #russia6 years ago (edited)

All major Russian official media circulate the news that the Turkish Patriarchate (!?) filed a lawsuit in Turkish court against the Ecumenical Patriarchate to challenge the autocephaly it is about to grant to a united Ukrainian Orthodox church.
Have you heard of such a Patriarchate? Probably not. Several families - in Turkey are crowned with this title - unrecognized, receiving state subsidies from the the Directorate of Religious Affairs - the Diyanet. No such move is possible without a nod from President Erdogan. And the only one to be able to activate him is President Putin.
The Kremlin has no limits when it fights on geopolitical grounds, no barriers that it could cross in pursuit of its own ends - sacrificing basic rules and principles - using Islamic state courts to advance Russian Orthodox Church goals.
Little wonder for Bulgarians, we have been bestowed with the privilege of having our main cathedral in Sofia named after Alexander Nevsky, who accepted Islam !?!
