Whoever is elected should insist on the implementation of human rights for the country, Archbishop says

Whoever is elected, should insist on the implementation of human rights for the country and focus on the problems facing the country, the Archbishop of Cyprus, Georgios, said on Sunday after casting his vote for the election of the new President of the Republic.

The archbishop exercised his right to vote at the Kato Pervolia Primary School in Pafos.

In his statements to journalists, referring to the “many problems of the country, and most importantly the problem of occupation,” he noted that people today vote for the new President of the Republic of Cyprus.

He expressed hope, that, “whoever is elected”, noting that he does not question anyone’s patriotism, will focus on the problems facing the country and, “especially try and insist on the implementation of human rights for our country, for the people, so that we can survive in this country”, while the way is paved for a fair solution to the Cyprus problem.
