    Russian Orthodox church to open in UAE

    MOSCOU


    A Russian Orthodox church is to be built in Sharjah, one of the
    United Arab Emirates (UAE), which are home to an estimated 8,000
    Russian speakers, church authorities in Moscow said on Wednesday.

    The decision follows an agreement struck in April with the Sheikh of
    Sharjah, Sultan bin Mohammed Al-Qassimi, the patriarchy said.

    Russian Orthodox faithful in Sharjah currently attend an Armenian
    church, built there several years ago with approval from the emirate.
