Hey remember that time God gave the Israelites unto Babylon and told His children to accept and help Babylonian rule? That was pretty cool.
Well, the same can be applied to the Anatolian Christians that were given unto the Ottomans, and Russians given unto the Communists, and French given unto the liberals, and Americans given unto the bankers, etc etc.
It doesn't matter the secular ruler, Christians are commanded to be Christians.
This doesn't change the fact monarchy is superior it has been the standard for government rule for literally thousands upon thousands of years.
