Archbishop Anastasios Calls Albanians to Use their Right to Vote
The Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania invited on Sunday all its believers and all citizens to participate in the elections of April 25. The Archbishop Anastasios Yannoulatos said that this is a right and obligation.
In a short message, the Archbishop stated that on April 25 citizens must choose the clean people who can lead Albania towards the future.
"We have emphasized since the beginning that our Church does not support any political party, nor does it interfere in the political issues that the country has.
This is the first principle of the Church.
But there is a second principle that is very important - we, the Orthodox Christians, as citizens of this country - must be responsible and have the obligation to vote," said Archbishop Yannoulatos.
