Bicommunal cooperation to save the monuments of Cyprus
May 29, 2018
Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, along with the people of UNDP-Pff and the EU, are working methodically after years of abandonment and destruction to save the monuments of Cyprus, Greek Cypriot Representative at the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage Takis Hadjidemetriou has said.
Hadjidemetriou was speaking on Saturday at a ceremony celebrating the completion of the conservation works of St Mary of Armenians Church and St Mary of Carmelite Church in the occupied city of Famagusta.
“Deep is our faith, despite what has happened, that nothing is forgotten, nothing is lost in history and culture. The monuments are those that ultimately judge our position in history and in the world”, he noted.
