The Greek Cypriot Archbishop Chrysostomos has crossed into the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The visit is the first to be paid to the Republic by Chrysostomos.

The first stop of Chrysostomos was the St Barnabas Archeology and Icon Museum.

He was accompanied by the Minister of Tourism, Environment and Culture Ersan Saner during the visit.

Later, he visited the Sipahi village and Dipkarpaz.

Chrysostomos also had inspections at the Apostolos Andreas Monastery.

Speaking during the visits, Chrysostomos said that he crossed into the Turkish Side for the first time after a break of 37 years.

He claimed that their wish is to bring a solution to the Cyprus problem under the roof of the so called the `Republic of Cyprus `.

It's very magnanimous of the Turkish establishment to welcome such a "wonderful" man of the cloth into their country.

I remember Makarious poncing around waving to the crowds of admirers whilst in the background his henchmen were making life miserable for the Turks.

I don't suppose this gentleman is much different.

I can't understand why the TRNC keep offering olive branches to such devious people.

Did he leave any of those leaflets or one of those 10000 or so books the church paid for and gave to their church goers? Hypocrite.
