honored by the Armenian National Committee of Cyprus as the Personality
of the Year 2009 for his valuable services to the Armenian-Cypriot
community and the Armenian Question," Gibrahayer e-magazine reports.

"This memorable ceremony took place at Latsia Municipal Theatre last
Friday night, 27 November 2009, in the presence of a large number of
officials and guests," the source says.

"Opening remarks were made by Vahan Aynedjian, who spoke about the
history of the Personality of the Year award. ANC Cyprus Chairman
Hagop Manougian spoke of the tragic history of the Armenian people
that led to the formation of the worldwide network of Armenian
National Committees, pursuing the restoration of the rights of the
Armenian people and the recognition of the Armenian Genocide," the
magazine reads.

"Megerditch Megerditchian — member of ARF Dashnaktsoutiun’s Political
Bureau outlined Cyprus and Armenia are faced with the same menace,
Turkey, which, despite the violations of so many principles of
International Law, is assigned by the great powers more and more tasks,
because of its geostrategic location; therefore, the collaboration
between our countries is imperative," the source informs.
