Besides gentlemen, are we really taking seriously this "byzantine" line? Basically every single noble house in Europe has some distant ancestor related to the Roman Emperor's house. Russia does not abandon its orthodox brothers, at the Convention of London the Concert already set about freeing the Greeks: we intent to accomplish fully that mandate.
Therefore Russia welcomes this resolution. Although if a greek Constantinople is so problematic, we equally support to preserve Ottoman rule there, provided the Sultan finally submits to the Concert.
