A motion for the establishment of a Sub-Ministry of Culture was recently passed unanimously by the parliament of Cyprus. Vartkes Mahdessian, an Armenian member of the House of Representatives of Cyprus, informed about this on Facebook.

“The establishment of the new department concerns the promotion and preservation of the cultural heritage of the communities and the religious groups of Maronites, Armenians and Latins.

On behalf of the Armenian Community, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my parliamentary colleagues for their ongoing support and solidarity,” Mahdessian added.
