GIBRAHAYER INAUGURATE NEW COMMUNITY HALL

Simon Aynedjian for Gibrahayer e-magazine – On Sunday, the Armenians of
Cyprus inaugurated a new Hall in AYMA – HMEM’s premises. An environment
that strives to continue being a focal point of Armenian Cypriots.

The ribbon-cutting was conducted by Armenian MP Vartkes Mahdessian. On
behalf of the AYMA-HMEM committee Mayda Neshanian made the opening
remarks, while after Archbishop Hergelian’s blessings, the festive
ceremony continued with speeches by the President of the AYMA-HMEM
committee responsible for the renovations – Arto Tellalian – who
collected the strongest of applauses for a job very well done!

The food was as always delicious, the parade of the recitations and
songs welcome, and so were the remarks by past Presidents.

However, what is most important is not the renovation or the new Hall,
nor the walls of the community centre. The new walls were not created
to facilitate a wishful program with unknown co-ordinates, rather to
facilitate the needs of an already thriving centre that simply could
not accommodate the cultural, political, sport and youth activities
any more.

A special tribute to the volunteers’ army spanning over decades,
tirelessly working for the improvement of the quality of life of our
community, who created this need !

At a time where institutions are closing and at a time when we often
feel that we are reversing, AYMA-HMEM’s new community Hall is a
welcome sign of a community moving forward.

Vartsgernit gadar !
