Tychikos Denies Claims of Residence and Salary Reduction

The lawyer of the former Metropolitan of Paphos, Tychikos, denies information regarding his residence at the Metropolis and the reduction of his salary. According to the lawyer, Tychikos resides in a small room in the garden of the Metropolis, without any cost to the Metropolis, and his salary was reduced by 55% without a decision from the Holy Synod. Furthermore, he denounces a lack of interest from the Archbishop regarding Tychikos's health and living conditions, as well as an unusual practice of communication through press releases. Tychikos, through his lawyer, seeks to restore the truth and safeguard unity within the Church.
