For words of support to Metropolitan Jonathan of Tulchin, the head of the Albanian Church, the Phanariots called the “gatekeeper” of the Russian Orthodox Church, who “will die unrepentant.” Archbishop Anastasios of Albania was criticized in an article on the pro-fanariot resource fosfanariou.gr.

The Phanariots called the publication-criticism “Ο Αλβανίας Αναστάσιος στη χοάνη του “ρωσικού κόσμου”” (“Albanian Anastasius in the mire of the “Russian world””). It was said about the archbishop that “not only does he not recognize the OCU, he also supports the narrative about the” Russian world “”.

The author of the article also added that he was “offended that Anastassy of Albania fell into the quagmire of the “Russian world”” and therefore the head of the Albanian Church “has no prospect of returning” and “he will die unrepentant.”
