Within the framework of traditional pilgrimage visits unique to the Great Lent period before Easter, Sahak Maşalyan, the Armenian Patriarch of Turkey, is visiting Armenian churches in Anatolia. As part of his pilgrimage, Patriarch Maşalyan attended the liturgy held on the "Name Day" of the Karasun Manuk Armenian Church in İskenderun. Restoration work continues for the church, which was damaged in the February 6 earthquakes. While the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will provide assistance, additional financial support is required to complete the restoration.

Restoration work is set to commence at the İskenderun Karasun Manuk Church, which sustained damage during the devastating earthquakes that struck Kahramanmaraş and Hatay on February 6, 2023. Meanwhile, efforts to secure the necessary funding for the renovation are ongoing.

Three years have passed since the February 6 earthquakes. Despite the passage of three years, hundreds of thousands of citizens continue to struggle for survival amidst housing and infrastructure problems.
