reporters also wanted his comments on the latest statements made by the Greek Cypriot Archbishop.the President said that such statements were in contradiction with secularism.“The South is less secular than we are. We too have religious representatives but they don’t see themselves as leaders of society. It seems that the Greek Cypriot Archbishop sees himself as so”
