ROC planned to unite with Armenian, Ethiopian and Coptic Churches

Orthodox Russian Orthodox Deacon Andrei Kurayev said that a document on unification of the Russian Orthodox Church with the Armenian Apostolic and Coptic Churches was being prepared in 1990s.

However, according to him, the churches recognize only the first three of the oecumenical councils, that is why the unification did not take place, Arguments and Facts reported.
