Archbishop: No Unacceptable Compromises On Cyprus Issue

The economic difficulties the Cypriot people are facing at present will eventually be overcome, the primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of Cyprus Archbishop Chrysostomos II has said.

In his Easter message, read out at all churches in the southern government controlled part of the country, the Archbishop announced that the entire property of the autocephalous church of Cyprus is at the disposal of the people to alleviate misfortune and suffering and help save the country's economy.

Referring to the question of Cyprus, he stressed that it must not be neglected, under any circumstances and warns that Cyprus must not be led to "unacceptable compromises" under the pressure of the current economic difficulties because if this happens, there will be no possibility to rectify the situation.
