A new Telegram channel launched for the parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate in Turkey
DECR Communication service, 11.11.2025.
A new official Telegram channel for the communities of the Moscow Patriarchate in the Republic of Turkey is now available at https://t.me/roc_turkiye. The channel will feature announcements of Divine services, official notices, and upcoming church events, as well as materials highlighting the educational and missionary activities of the communities.
Special attention will be given to publications on the history of the Orthodox Church’s presence in Asia Minor and to the lives of the saints from that part of ancient Byzantium which lies within the borders of modern Turkey.
The previous Telegram channel “Orthodoxy in Turkey” (now renamed “Orthodoxy”) no longer represents the official position of, nor provides up-to-date information about, the activities of the communities of the Russian Orthodox Church in the region.
