A:Yes. Following the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453 the remaining Christian people of the city were allowed to practise their religion, although their freedom to worship openly was much restricted, and there were the usual taxes and minor persecutions.

Constantinople still had over four hundred thousand Christians in 1920, but has perhaps only four thousand today. The city's final Greek remnants largely vanished during a sweeping race riot in 1955.
