This Cyprus Mail report covers the state's 9 million euro 2025 budget allocation for clergy salaries, paid under a 1971 agreement between President Makarios and the Church of Cyprus in which the state covers part of clerics' wages in exchange for church owned land, plus roughly 2.5 million euros a year in separate VAT refunds for church building projects. It is the source used here for the scale and legal basis of Cyprus's direct state contribution to clergy pay.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Cyprus' English language paper of record reporting the state budget line for clergy pay and citing the 1971 land-exchange agreement by name, verifiable against the published budget itself; national news reporting a government record rather than the record itself, hence the middle tier. Connections
