Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias on Sunday paid a visit to the Turkish metropolis Istanbul.

Dendias attended the Feast of Orthodoxy (The Sunday of Orthodoxy) — the first Sunday of Great Lent — at the Fener Greek Orthodox Patriarchate.

Worshippers also prayed for the victims of the devastating Feb. 6 earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria, as well as for the Greece train-crash victims.

Head of Cyprus’ Orthodox Church Archbishop Georgios also attended the ceremony.

As part of his visit on Sunday, Dendias is expected to hold a meeting with Fener Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew.
