Please don't make things up as you go along....The parastate of Turkey is the LAST place where the relics should be reverently held, and I never believed otherwise. The only possible location within the parasitic state of Turkey would be in the Patriarchate in Constantinople but nobody can guarantee the safety of anything good in that hellhole.

Barring that dangerous move, I strongly suggest the Holy Mountain at Mt. Athos or the Moscow Patriarchate. The relics should temporarily rest in either of those two places. But - should the Cathedral at Bari return to its original Orthodox Christian faith, I would consider keeping the remains there.

Are you suggesting that the Catholic faith is not orthodox?

"Barring that dangerous move, I strongly suggest the Holy Mountain at Mt. Athos or the Moscow Patriarchate."

Moscow or St. Petersburg. There the relics can be placed in a temple or monastery catholikon where they can be venerated by people who have no doubt as to the sainthood of +Nicholas.

The Holy Mountain would be appropriate but of course access to them would be severely limited.
