July 20, 2026 · 1 min read

The first to seek a solution to the Cypriot conflict are the Greek Cypriots, who have suffered the calamity of the invasion and continued occupation, said the Archbishop. George. The Primate of the Church of Cyprus in statements in Paphos, where he officiated in the chapel of Agios Photios, in the children's camp of the Diocese of Paphos in the area of ​​the Monastery, near the Statou-Agios Photios community, expressed the hope that the Secretary General of the United Nations will support the principles of the United Nations Organization.

"What we expect to hear", continued the Archbishop, "is a solution in line with human rights, without any prejudice and fear from the powerful".

Answering a question about whether more active involvement in the European Union process is a guarantee for a solution that will ensure the human rights of all the island's inhabitants, he said that "indeed, the European Union can protect us from some abuses", as he said.

"It will, of course, also depend on us", he concluded, "how much we will insist on our principles, without giving up on our side on basic human rights issues".

Marija LukićI hope that Guterres will really stand behind those UN principles and not just talk. Our people in Cyprus suffered the occupation and are still suffering, and we here in Banja Luka understand that very well. It is important not to compromise on human rights, as Archbishop Georgia said.
