The "foreign ministry" takes a position on the Easter message of Archbishop Chrysostomos of Cyprus.
"We condemn the Archbishop's Easter statement, which reflects the hatred of the Greek Cypriot Orthodox Church for the Turkish Cypriot people and Turkey", the "foreign ministry" said in a statement.
It refers to the Archbishop's "attempt to link the situation on the island of Cyprus with Russia's attack on Ukraine" and the role played by the Orthodox Church in the Cyprus problem, especially in the period 1963-1974.
"It is not surprising that an institution marked by the claim of the Union considers the Turkish Cypriots a minority and declares that the island is Greek," says the "suplex", which claims that the Turkish army in 1974 "rescued" the TCs.
It concludes by claiming that "today, on the island there are two peoples living side by side in two separate states on the island. The only way for the two sides to move forward is through cooperation between the two states of the island, based on good neighbourly relations."
