CYPRUS LAWYERS Review – by Cyprus lawyers A&G Kouzali - Apostolos Andreas Monastery completed 20th April 2010.
In a bid to help save the famous Apostolos Andreas Monastery, situated in Turkish occupied Northern Cyprus, the Cyprus Archbishop Chrysostomos II, recently paid a visit to the north for the first time since the Turkish invasion.
The Archbishop spent time at the ancient Greek Christian religious site, in order to evaluate the dire condition the monastery is in. Like most religious sites on the Northern side the monastery has been neglected and mistreated since the Turkish invasion took place and in need of major renovation.
The reason for the Archbishops trip was to try and help hurry along the much needed renovation work, not only on the Apostolos Andreas Monastery but also other religious sites that are crumbling away. This is sacrilegious and help really is needed to restore these ancient sites before they are no more.
It was reported that the Archbishop is mostly concern with the market sellers who will need to remove their stalls situated around the monastery, before any kind of development can proceed.
We pray that the Turkish community will respect the Archbishops wishes and let work begin on saving these religious sites that are so important to the Greek religion.
We offer our full support for the restoration of all religious sites on the Turkish Occupied Northern Cyprus and we also support the use and restoration of the Great Agia Sophia church in Istanbul Turkey.
