Residence and Legal Issues of Metropolitan Tychikos
January 28, 2026
The suspended Metropolitan Tychikos resides in an apartment of the Paphos Metropolis, not in a room as claimed by his lawyers. Archbishop George stated that if he does not return the keys to the office and the apartment, the police will be involved. Tychikos has filed an appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarchate to overturn the suspension decision. The Archbishop emphasizes that appeals to civil courts can have serious consequences. The situation is surrounded by legal issues regarding the legality of Tychikos's salary.
