Cyprus Archbishop seeks the intervention of the King of Jordan

August 19, 2011

Archbishop Chrysostomos will fly to Jordan next Saturday and will ask the Jordanian King to intervene to the Turkish government in order to allow priests hold masses in the northern part of Cyprus.

The Church of Cyprus has asked that Orthodox priests be allowed to hold mass in the northern part of Cyprus. However, according to Alithia, the Turkish Cypriot side has refused the request saying that there is no such possibility as the army prohibits it.

This request was put forward during the recent dialogue between the Church of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriot side on the request to allow imams to officiate in the Republic.

The Church gave its consent on the question of imams.
