The ideal for the continuance of humanity cannot be the right of the powerful but the globalization of solidarity  Interview by Margarita Pournara, I KATHIMERINI  April 12th, Sunday edition   The voice of Archbishop Anastasios of Albania from the other end of the telephone exudes as always serenity and wisdom.
