Turkey, a country that straddles Europe and Asia, is a land of diverse cultures, rich history, and stunning landscapes. It is a country where East meets West, and Christianity has deep roots dating back to the early days of the faith. Turkey is home to a significant number of Orthodox Christian sites, with a strong presence of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Turkey and Ethiopia share a historical connection through their shared Christian heritage. Ethiopia, one of the oldest Christian nations in the world, has a long-standing relationship with the Greek Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations in Turkey.
