Özgürgün: “Religious ceremonies of Greek Cypriots increased in the last three years”

Stating that the religious ceremonies of the Greek Cypriots held at the churches in the TRNC have increased in the last three years and there is some proof that these religious ceremonies had been politicized, Prime Minister Özgürgün said that the permit procedure for the religious ceremonies was revised and 4 criteria have been determined by consulting with President Mustafa Akıncı.

Responding to the questions on the agenda, Prime Minister Özgürgün said that with 200 religious ceremonies in a year it means that security needs to be arranged for these ceremonies.
