/PanARMENIAN.Net/ According to the Cypriot Constitution, the
Armenian community of Cyprus is a national minority empowered to have
representatives in the parliament and government.
"Election of Marios Garoyian the Parliament Speaker of Cyprus has
cemented the positions of the Armenian community as a full-fledged
participant in the country's political processes," head of the Hai
Dat Office Cyprus Hakob Manoogian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"We are proud that the Speaker represents the Armenian community. I'd
like to mention that Garoyan doesn't conceal his Armenian origin. But
we all are citizens of Cyprus and work for its glory," he said.
Mr Manoogian also informed that the Hai Dat Cypriot Office serves
on the European Armenian Federation (EFAJD). "We coordinate our
moves with the EFAJD leadership. As you know, Cyprus recognizes the
Armenian Genocide. More and more Turkish Cypriots admit that Turkey
really perpetrated the Genocide.
However, Turkish scientists and politicians fear to publicly
acknowledge this historical fact," he emphasized.
