Metropolis of Paphos: Moving to Next Phases After Tychikos Issue

The Church of Cyprus is proceeding with procedures for a new Metropolitan of Paphos, following the final rejection of the appeals of the former Metropolitan Tychikos. The Church considers the Tychikos issue closed and is focusing on the restructuring of its constitutional charter, based on which the election of the new Metropolitan will take place. The Spokesman of the Holy Archbishopric, Christakis Eustathiou, stated that the Church is not interested in Tychikos' second appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, as this is a personal matter for him. The procedures will be carried out institutionally and in accordance with ecclesiastical provisions.
