Gibrahayer
June 8, 2008
8 June, Nicosia – Gibrahayer – A jubilant high-spirited crowd with AYF
Cyprus youth leading the way, packed the PASYDY Theater and the Banquet
that followed at the Holiday Inn for the Grand Victory Fiesta on the
occasion of the 90th anniversary of Armenian independence that took
place in Nicosia on Sunday night with the participation of Armenian
MP and Dashnaktsoutiun Presidential candidate Vahan Hovhannesian and
an incredible musical duo of Karnig Sarkissian from the United States
and his band and Sahag Sahagian (composer of Kedashen) from Armenia.
The statement from all participants of the twin events was clear. We
survived the odds. We re-established our statehood and we are here
to stay to safeguard our schools and churches, political and cultural
life and the continuity of Armenians in Cyprus.
Both events were organised by the ARF Dashnaktsoutiun Cyprus Gomideh
and sister organisations AYMA/HMEM, Hamazkayin "Oshagan" Cyprus
Chapter and The Armenian Relief Society (HOM) "Sosse" Cyprus Chapter.
