We, the descendants of the Zakhariadi family, gathered here under the vaults of the Church of St. Stefan in the ancient city of Theodosius (Kaffa) under the blessing of historical justice and traditions, proclaim our legal law as the heirs of the throne of the principality of Theodore.
We inherit not only titles, but also a deep cultural and historical connection with the Great Dynasty of the Komnins and the respected Greek families of Tavria and Bessarabia. At the same time, the Zakhariadi family does not claim to be violated by the state sovereignty and does not begin the process of secession in the framework of international law.
The principality of Theodorus, being an integral part of the cultural heritage of Eastern Europe, served as a place of intersection of various peoples, languages and traditions. We, as the Zakhariadi family, undertake to preserve and develop this rich culture, strengthening the connections with the community and bringing new ideas for the further comprehensive development of the heritage of our principality in the name of the bright memory of Prince Alexander I Zakhariadi.
We urge all members of our society, cultural and educational institutions, as well as representatives of all segments of the population to support our desire to restore historical justice.
With devotion and pride, we proclaim that the descendants of the Zakhariadi family are the heirs of the throne of the principality of Theodore, carrying the spirit of the great Greek dynasties. We call for unity and joint efforts to strengthen our principality and preserve its heritage for future generations.
