Filaret orders to drive out to the street Lutsk publishing house "Initial"

The head of the Volyn diocese of the UOC-KP, Mikhail Zinkevich, said in an interview with "Volyn24" that the publishing house "Initial" will be evicted from the premises of the St. Basil the Great monastery.

He claims that the company has occupied the premises by oral agreement and that the "Initial" has no documents confirming the legality of the presence of publishing house within these walls.

Mikhail Zinkevich demonstrated the resolution of the head of the UOC-KP Filaret with an order to evict the "Initial", which is run by Viktor Fedosiuk.

"He should be grateful that at a time when the monastery did not need all these territories, we gave him the opportunity to do his work. If we provide a room, we expect that he will help the monastery. But if he does not help the monastery, then we ask him to vacate the building. What is illegal? Therefore, he must get out of there, and not write nasty things about this.

Here is the report and the decision of the Patriarch: to evict from the premises. Therefore, he will be expelled. If he still has conscience, then voluntarily. If he has no conscience, he will be forcibly expelled," said the representative of the UOC-KP.

Previously, residents of Lutsk have commented on the event in social networks. According to the citizens, these areas will be used for cafes or shops.
