A new move came from the Greek Cypriot side that will increase the tension. The priests, who were called upon the special invitation of Brigade Commander of the Greek Cypriot National Guard (RMMO) Brigadier General Lucas Hatzimichael, with the cooperation of the Orthodox Church and the Greek National Army, were trained with heavy weapons.
After the images spread on social media, the Greek people also reacted to the clergy’s cooperation with the Greek army.
Upon the reactions, the Greek administration made a statement that “it is a planned exercise carried out in the context of cooperation between the Greek army and the local church”.
