[01] CYPRUS FM - ARCHBISHOP OF CYPRUS - VATICAN
Cyprus Foreign Minister Yiorgos Lillikas has described as very
successful a visit by the Archbishop of Cyprus Chrysostomos II to the
Holy See.
The Archbishop, quite rightly, has raised issues not only of Cypriot
interest but also of interest to Christianity and Europe, he said,
commenting on a joint declaration the Pope and Chrysostomos issued on
Saturday expressing their will to have a more active role for world
peace and inter-religious dialogue.
Lillikas expressed the view that such approaches can serve Cyprus
interests because they allow us to have allies in our efforts to
protect our cultural heritage and our churches in Turkish-occupied
Cyprus.

way,`` Baghdatis, who celebrates his birthday today, has said.
