Gibrahayer
April 1, 2008
Nicosia April 1, 2008 - Gibrahayer - The opening of Ledra street as
agreed by President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali
Talat has brought about prospects for fresh restructuring of the Paphos
Gate, that extends a hundred meters from the Ledra street check point.
To that end the Armenian quarter at Paphos Gate - now under Turkish
occupation - is being returned to the rightful owners, the Armenian
community of Cyprus.
As announced a few years ago the Armenian quarter on Victoria street,
comprising of The Sourp Asdvadzadzin Church, The Armenian Prelature,
The Armenian Genocide Memorial, the Melikian-Ouzounian elementary
school and The Armenian Kindergarten started going through major
renovations, funded by the UNOPS which have taken place on quarters
on both side of Nicosia.
It is expected that the Armenian quarter on Victoria street will return
to our community in a better condition than before the invasion and
inter-community troubles.
