3 together and support each other on the principle ground of rights, based on Freedom of Religion or Belief, and their claims are in line with Human Rights law, no government can stop them, only make delays. Together with the leaders we are exploring ways religious leaders can offer constructive contributions to the Cyprus peace process in particular to the complex process of forgiveness and reconciliation. Through the religious track the religious leaders together are trying to ensure that the main concerns of the religious communities, e.g. cultural heritage, religious freedom, right to worship, religious property rights are understood and considered in the Cyprus peace process and formal negotiations. Concluding Remarks Today there is inter-religious communication in Cyprus. Yes, on the level of leadership and still in its infancy maybe even fragile at times, but it does exist. There is no turning back. The Swedish initiative managed to bring together the religious leaders of Cyprus demonstrating a new dynamic in the Cyprus peace process with solid commitment. It has not only established and improved the relationship between the main religious leaders but most important it started to change the negative stereotypes. Archbishop Chrysostomos II and Grand Mufti Atalay are courageously taking small, sometimes symbolic but solid steps, to reach out and compromise, to empathise and try to overcome decades of division and mistrust. They are joined by the Maronite Catholic and Armenian Orthodox religious leaders. The religious leaders of Cyprus agree together that it is unacceptable for places of worship to be vandalized, looted or left to perish as a result of intentional neglect. They agree that all believers should have full access to their places of worship, have the right to pray there as prescribed by each religion. The religious leaders find restrictions, control or banning clerics to conduct worship unacceptable. Last month we had a breakthrough for religious freedom in the island when due to an agreement that Archbishop Chrysostomos II and the Grand Mufti had made, the political leadership of the island agreed to lift the 18 month travel ban and 4 year ban to conduct worship of the Bishop Christoforos of Karpassia. In return the Grand Mufti, was allowed to cross the green line for the first time ever acknowledging his function as Mufti of Cyprus, allowing him the freedom to pray and the opportunity to be able to oversee the mosques all over the island.
