The president of PASOK-KINAL speaks of one of the most influential hierarchs throughout his journey Nikos Androulakis in his condolence message, on the occasion of repose of the Archbishop of Tirana, Durres and All Albania Anastasios.

Specifically, Mr. Androulakis states in his statement:

“Today we say goodbye to the blessed Archbishop of Albania, Anastasios, who with his gentle speech and his great work opened paths of solidarity and love, setting aside discrimination and intolerance.

Anastasios had a deep education and was one of the most influential hierarchs throughout his journey.

An emblematic form of Orthodoxy, he reconstructed the Autocephalous Church of Albania by teaching the value of solidarity and made a decisive contribution to Greek-Albanian relations.

A deeply spiritual man with a rich academic and literary work.

He symbolized humility and tireless missionary activity and was a model for Orthodox Christians around the world.”
