In a statement to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, Archbishop Chrysostomos II said he placed great importance on the meeting today with Yonluer, noting "During our meeting, I will stress that our real enemies in the invasion of our nation's land are not the Northern Cypriot Turks themselves, but Ankara," reports Hurriyet.
