Neo-Cypriot Association Criticizes Archbishop's Christmas Message

The Neo-Cypriot Association has expressed deep concern over the Christmas message of the Archbishop of Cyprus, believing it failed to fulfill its pastoral purpose and ignored the need for social reconciliation. The Association accused the Archbishop of deviating from the fundamental principles of Christian faith and adopting a rhetoric more consistent with a political leader than a religious one. Furthermore, it referenced the events of 1974, emphasizing the inappropriateness of patriotic rhetoric from those who do not experience the consequences of events. The Association stressed that its priority is the reunification of Cyprus and peaceful coexistence, and that any statement undermining this goal is unacceptable.
