Unsuccessful Legal Action by Tychikos Against the Election of Paphos Metropolitan
June 12, 2026
The legal action initiated by the former Metropolitan Tychikos to suspend the enthronement of the new Metropolitan Grigorios was unsuccessful. The Supreme Court decided not to interfere with the internal processes of the Church of Cyprus. Mr. Tychikos claims that the decisions affecting him were made unlawfully and may pursue further legal actions. The court ruling emphasizes the careful examination of the Church's jurisdictions. Ultimately, the election of the new Metropolitan proceeds as planned.
