[02] Pilgrimage - Visit - Cancelled
Nicosia, Aug 4 (CNA) -- The refusal of the Turkish occupation army to move
back to its original positions in the village of Strovilia and restore the
status quo in the area has led to the cancellation of two visits by Greek
and Turkish Cypriots to different venues.
A planned pilgrimage by 1,193 Greek Cypriots to the Turkish-occupied
monastery of Apostolos (St) Andreas, scheduled for 15 August, which is a
very important religious feast in the Greek Orthodox calendar, has been
cancelled, Humanitarian Affairs Commissioner Takis Christopoulos told CNA
today.
