It is, he said, "my special emotion and my joy to come here again to Paphos, which I have loved for 27 years and I would not like to part with it and it will not be an easy parting».
The position of the Archbishop, he said, is a position of greater responsibility and through’ with this he will be able to more easily achieve his plans and his pursuits for the good of the world and especially of our country.

Regarding his priorities the Archbishop of Cyprus stated that it is the good of the world because the Church is the refuge of all people for all their problems, adding that man's problems are both spiritual and material.
As a spiritual being, we understand that man has not changed much since he appeared on earth, he said. What's more, he continued, "we said from Socrates, Aristotle to Plato".
"That which we progressed was in the material field in technology and the difference is that there was not a balanced development in both in the other field,' he added.
For this, he said, the Church must find ways to support all people both in the spiritual field and in the material field.
He also said that the charitable and social work of the Church will continue and expand. He added that in Cyprus we should develop the national role of the church which should stand as a bulwark in all the efforts made to Turkify the country.
Σ’ for this we will have the support of the entire Greek Cypriot people, but especially of this area of Pafos which has always stood in front of all the national struggles of the place, he said finally.
