Turkish Cypriot daily Yeni Duzen (11.09.12) reports that the New Cyprus
Party (YKP), has issued a statement, demanding that the decision
taken to "lease" the Armenian Church to a "university" for a period
of 10 years to be revised and to be returned back to the Armenians
of Cyprus, together with the right of use.
The YKP, points out that the statement that the church is one of the
few cultural heritages left untouched today and underlines that it is
unacceptable for a church to be restored and given to a "university".
The YKP calls also the "administration board" of the Efkav to revise
its decision and give back to the Armenians who live in Cyprus,
the church as well as the right of use it.
The statement points out that the YKP will pursue this process both
in Cyprus and in international arenas.
