Commentary
Mikhaíl Khristodoúlou Moúskos (1913-1977) fut archevêque et primat de l'Église orthodoxe de Chypre sous le nom de Makários III de 1950 à sa mort et 1er président de la République de Chypre de 1960 à 1977. Partisan du non-alignement et de l’indépendance de Chypre, il ne peut éviter le coup d’état de la junte grecque, ni l’invasion turque qui ont abouti à la partition de l’île.
