ARMENIAN QUARTER OF CYPRUS CONQUERED BY TURKS TO BE RETURNED TO ARMENIANS

The opening of Viktoria (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.

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. It is expected
that the Armenian quarter on Victoria street will be returned to the
community in a better condition than before the invasion by Turks.
