Calciproying statement on the Metropolitan of Konitsa, sent by President of the Republic, Konstantinos Tasoulas:
“The Metropolitan of Dryinopolis, Pogonian and Konitsis, Mr. Andreas, who served with faith, dedication and self -denial to Orthodoxy in his acrimonious metropolis, today obeyed physically, after a long illness and he did not care about him.
A three -decade work in the border of the province of Pogoni and Konitsis, but also a dynamic and uninterrupted support for the Greek national minority of Albania, with his constant anxiety and mobilization of all of us to protect the rights of his “children, their children”.
The memory of his rich work, the pastoral, the social, the patriotic and the spiritual, will continue to exemplify and commit to continuing it.
I express my heartfelt condolences for his event. “
