" The Press and Communication Office of the Ecumenical Patriarchate announces to all interested parties that His Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Mr Bartholomew and the Mother Church of Constantinople are not interfering in any way in the upcoming archepiscopal elections in the Holy Church of Cyprus. Any other assessments, from various “ecclesiastical circles,” that have seen the light of day, are unsubstantiated," the Patriarchate of Constantinople said.
