ANTALYA, Turkey — The popular resort city of Antalya, the heart of the Turkish Riviera, has found itself on a major fault line in the world of Eastern Orthodoxy, with the divisions becoming increasingly visible since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The schism took place in 2018 after the Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarchate decided to grant the Ukrainian Orthodox Church autocephaly, paving the way for the latter’s split from the Patriarchate of Moscow.
