The Archdiocese’s statement notes that the Archbishop condemns the declaration of the pseudo-state in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus, which today marks 43 years of illegal existence. “It was an act whose consequences remain, like open wounds, on the body of our homeland,” he states.
“On November 15, 1983, an atrocity was committed against peace and justice toward the Greek Cypriot people and international law. This act revealed early on the tactics and ultimate goal of the occupying force in Cyprus,” he notes.
“We call upon our people to keep the spirit of struggle alive, with faith in God and in the values that have sustained our nation for centuries. The Church of Cyprus will not cease to support and strengthen every action that will lead to the liberation of Cyprus,” he concludes.
