Festive greetings to the Ecumenical Patriarch from the Armenian Patriarch in Turkey
On Friday, January 2, 2026, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew warmly received the Armenian Patriarch in Turkey, Sahak Masalyan, together with his delegation.
His Beatitude conveyed his greetings and best wishes to His All-Holiness for the Holy Twelve Days and the New Year.
Later that same afternoon, festive greetings were also extended to His All-Holiness by the Syriac Orthodox (Syriac Jacobite) Metropolitan of Constantinople, Filiksino Yusuf Çetin, who visited the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate together with the board of his community.
The Ecumenical Patriarch thanked both hierarchs for their visits and greetings, and in return wished that God grant them and the faithful of their communities—and the whole world—health, peace, and prosperity.
