Archbishop Chrysostomos II is in Israel for specialised medical examinations related to his health, Bishop of Karpasia told CNA.
He also said that the health of the primate of the Greek orthodox church in Cyprus “remains stable and there is no negative development”, commenting press reports about the latter’s health.
The Archbishop is scheduled to return to Cyprus next week, the Bishop said.
He also told CNA that Archbishop Chrysostomos is in good spirits and was informed about the journalists’ concern over his health and conveyed the message that he is well and there is no cause for concern.
The reason no statement was released prior to the Archbishop’s trip was because no surgery would have been involved and it was a scheduled examination which the doctors had asked for, the Bishop added.
