Dispute between Archbishop and Tychikos over Metropolitan Keys
January 29, 2026
The conflict between the Archbishop and the former Bishop of Paphos, Tychikos, is escalating. Tychikos sent a letter to Archbishop Georgios accusing him of arbitrary actions and warning of legal measures. He states that the threat of police intervention to retrieve keys from the Metropolitan is arbitrary and lacks a judicial decision. He also clarifies that he does not use the Metropolitan's premises and resides in an external area. Tychikos calls for the protection of ecclesiastical institutions from untimely actions.
