The president of the Federation of Cypriot Communities in Australia
and New Zealand and the president of the Cypriot Community of New
South Wales, Michael Christodoulou (foto), recently met with the
Australian ambassador in Nicosia, Evan Williams, and Australia’s
special envoy for the Cyprus issue, David Ritchie.

Also attending the meeting was the president of the Community Relations
Commission of NSW, Stepan Kerkiasarian, of Armenian origin, who was
born in Cyprus.

Christodoulou said he briefed the Australian diplomats on the feelings
and positions expressed by Cypriot-Australians on the island’s problems
and called for Australia’s assistance in order that a viable and
workable solution be found to the Cyprus dispute.
