/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Prelature of Cyprus has announced
that the team of experts of the United Nations Development Program
(UNDP) ACT will present to the Armenian community of Cyprus the final
design for the restoration of the Turkish-occupied Church Complex,
including Surb Astvatsatsin Church, Armenian Prelature, Melikian
Ouzounian schools and adjoining areas, Gibrahayer magazine reports.

The team of experts includes Italian architects who specialize in
Venetian architecture and have been working on this project over the
last year, in cooperation with the Armenian Church of Cyprus.

As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from Simon Aynedjian,
editor of Gibrahayer magazine, after the Turkish occupation Surb
Astvatsatsin remained in the Turkish part of Nicosia. "A program
on reconstruction of Christian churches in the Turkish part of the
island was adopted in the framework of endeavors for normalization of
relations between the Greek and Turkish communities," Aynedjian said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
