ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The diocese of Chalkedon was one of the oldest of Asia Minor, as Chalkedon was an important ecclesiastical centre already from the Early Byzantine Period. The Greek-Orthodox population of the area was exempted from the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. As a result, the diocese remained one of the very few active Greek-Orthodox ecclesiastical provinces in Turkey. |
