Elpidophoros on tragic anniversary of Turkish invasion of Cyprus

The Archbishop of America, His Eminence Elpidophoros, on Sunday attended events commemorating the grim anniversary of the Turkish invasion in Cyprus in July 1974 — organized by local Cypriot organizations, and held at the Archangel Michael Cathedral in Port Washington, New York.
The Archbishop also presided at a memorial service for the victims of the invasion, in the presence of Cypriot and Greek diplomats and members of the Greek-American community.

In a statement, he said “…We all paid dearly for the Cyprus issue, and it affects us all, allow me to speak, not as the Archbishop, but to speak as a native of Constantinople, as a Greek.”
