The Catholic Church divided with the church in the West (the present day Roman Catholic Church) recognizing Rome as the Capital of the Catholic Church. While the Church in the East (The Eastern Orthodox Catholic) recognize Constantinople as the Capital of the Church.

Turks are not Antonians. Turks conquered Antonia, just like Romans conquered many territory.

Turkey as a people, i mean the conquerors of Antonia were never christian.

And if you do not know, if you conquer a region in those days, they become captives and you can impose your religion on them if you want. seconded.

Turkey was never a Christian country. Turkey is a modern Republic which was formed in 1923, prior to which it was the Ottoman empire (third largest empire in the history of mankind). The state religion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was Islam, but ALL other religions were tolerated. Subjects had the privilege to retain their religious beliefs but had to pay taxes if they were not Muslim. The Turks arrived in waves into Asia minor dating from the 9th century AD forward and adopted Islam under Arabic rule. Prior to their contact with Islam the religion of the Turks (there were and still are dozens of different tribes) was a shamanistic based nature religion that worshipped Tanri the Celestial God. With the demise of the once mighty Roman empire Christianity withdrew from the Anatolian mainland territory into Thrace or further into Europe. Since true Islam does not prosecute other religions, Christians, Jews and other religions have traditionally existed to the present day within modern Turkish society. Turkey was NEVER predominately Christian.

The region that is now modern day Turkey was a Christian region in Asia Minor which was Constantinipole, which was the capital of the Byzantine Empire or Eastern Roman Empire. St. PAUL wrote a letter or Epistle to Ephesus which is in Present day Turkey, so the region was a Christian region before the Muslim Conquest by the Turks.
