    Disputed transfer of Alexander's Courtyard

    The transfer of Alexander's Courtyard and the Alexander Nevsky Church in Jerusalem to the IOPS associated with Igor Ashurbeyli was controversial because a competing Imperial Orthodox Palestine Historic Society also claimed an interest in the site. Commentators linked the decision to wider political negotiations, although the precise political context remains disputed.
