Turkish Armenians, like Armenians worldwide, primarily adhere to Armenian Apostolic Christianity. This is the oldest national church in the world, established in 301 AD.
While some Turkish Armenians may practice other religions, such as Islam or other Christian denominations, the majority identify with Armenian Apostolic Christianity.
The Armenian Apostolic Church is an integral part of Armenian culture and identity, playing a significant role in preserving and transmitting Armenian traditions and values.
The church has faced challenges and hardships throughout history, particularly during the Armenian Genocide in the early 20th century, which resulted in the displacement and loss of life for many Armenians.
Despite these challenges, the Armenian Apostolic Church remains a vital institution for Turkish Armenians and the Armenian diaspora, providing spiritual guidance, community support, and a connection to their heritage.
