Türkiye: Inauguration of the first church in 100 years of republic

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday inaugurated the first church in Turkey’s 100-year history as a post-Ottoman state.

Located on the European side of the Bosphorus, in the peripheral district of Yesilköy, where the majority of Turkey’s Syriac Christians live – the others being settled in the south-east, not far from the Syrian border – the Saint-Ephrem Orthodox Church was funded by the community of 17,000 members.

The large white building, located in the middle of a green neighbourhood, is designed to accommodate 750 parishioners.
