The sale of Christian churches in Turkey requires study, but the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) cannot approve of such an attitude towards churches anywhere, Archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, secretary of the Department for External Church Relations (DECR) of the Moscow Patriarchate for inter-Orthodox relations, told RIA Novosti.

“Of course, the Russian Church will never approve of the auctioning of a Christian church anywhere. As for this particular situation in Turkey, it requires additional study. We do not yet have detailed objective information about this case,” RIA Novosti said. Yakimchuk.
