"We are having today a historic opportunity - the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will consider the address of the President of Ukraine to His Holiness, Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome, Ecumenical Patriarch with the request to grant Tomos of Autocephaly to the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church,” -- Andriy Parubiy, the Chairman


"I consider this to be a historical event for Ukraine, for all of us," said A.Parubiy.

In his view, "first of all, this is a question of religion, and equally a matter of establishing the State and National Security".

The head of the parliament called on all the parliamentarians “to be as self-disciplined and mobilized as possible at the moment” in order to take a positive decision upon this issue.

"We shall pray to God that our appeal and the appeal of the President of Ukraine be heard, and we could soon get Tomos of Autocephaly for our Church,” underscored the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine A.Parubiy.
