Archbishopric Demands Keys from Bishop Tychikos: "The Metropolis is Not Anyone's Home"

The Archbishopric is requesting Bishop Tychikos to hand over the keys to the Metropolis, as access to the premises is essential for the smooth operation of the Church. There are problems accessing archival material and documents, which are necessary for administrative and operational smoothness. The Archbishopric calls for calm and prevents the dramatization of the situation, emphasizing that the Metropolis is not a private residence, but a space of the Church. The Archbishop has exhausted all margin of leniency and hopes for a peaceful solution, while expressing concern about Bishop Tychikos' appeals to the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
