It calls for the Cypriot city of Famagusta to be returned by Turkey to its ‘lawful inhabitants’. After the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Famagusta became part of the ‘Turkish Republic of North Cyprus’ (TRNC). The TRNC operates a large free port and zone at Famagusta, although the Republic of Cyprus has declared this closed. A section of Famagusta called Varosha has remained closed off by the Turkish military since 1974, becoming a ghost town. Famagusta is often seen as one of the keys to a permanent settlement for Cyprus and to unblocking Turkey’s stalled EU accession process. UN-sponsored negotiations for a permanent settlement for Cyprus restarted in 2015 following the election of a new leader in the TRNC.

  • Dual Naming of Sea Areas in Modern Atlases and Implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan Case
    Dual naming of sea areas in modern atlases and implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan case Rainer DORMELS* Dual naming is, to varying extents, present in nearly all atlases. The empirical research in this paper deals with the dual naming of sea areas in about 20 atlases from different nations in the years from 2006 to 2017. Objective, quality, and size of the atlases and the country where the atlases originated from play a key role. All these characteristics of the atlases will be taken into account in the paper. In the cases of dual naming of sea areas, we can, in general, differentiate between: cases where both names are exonyms, cases where both names are endonyms, and cases where one name is an endonym, while the other is an exonym. The goal of this paper is to suggest a typology of dual names of sea areas in different atlases. As it turns out, dual names of sea areas in atlases have different functions, and in many atlases, dual naming is not a singular exception. Dual naming may help the users of atlases to orientate themselves better. Additionally, dual naming allows for providing valuable information to the users. Regarding the naming of the sea between Korea and Japan present study has achieved the following results: the East Sea/Sea of Japan is the sea area, which by far showed the most use of dual naming in the atlases examined, in all cases of dual naming two exonyms were used, even in atlases, which allow dual naming just in very few cases, the East Sea/Sea of Japan is presented with dual naming.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • 1 Memorandum Ownership Status of Hotels and Other
    MEMORANDUM OWNERSHIP STATUS OF HOTELS AND OTHER ACCOMODATION FACILITIES IN THE OCCUPIED PART OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus hereby publishes a list1 of hotels situated in the Turkish occupied part of Cyprus. The majority of these hotels belong to Greek Cypriot displaced persons who were forced to leave their properties following the Turkish invasion of 1974 or have been built illegally on properties belonging to displaced Greek Cypriots, in violation of the latter’s property rights and without their consent. A number of hotels belong to Turkish Cypriots or have been built on land belonging to Turkish Cypriots. The European Court of Human Rights, in its Judgment of 18 December 1996, on the individual application of the Greek Cypriot displaced owner from Kyrenia, Mrs. Titina Loizidou, against Turkey, and in the Fourth Interstate Application of Cyprus against Turkey of 10 May 2001, upheld the rights of the refugees to their properties. In the Loizidou case, the Court ordered the Government of Turkey to compensate the applicant for the time period of deprivation of use of her property and to provide full access and allow peaceful enjoyment of her property in Kyrenia. The right of the displaced owners to their properties was reconfirmed in the decision of the European Court of Human Rights (Dec. 2005) regarding the application of Myra Xenides- Arestis v. Turkey, and has since been repeatedly reconfirmed in a multitude of cases brought by Greek Cypriot owners of property in the occupied part of Cyprus against Turkey]. It should also be reminded that, according to the United Nations Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons (the Pinheiro principles) “all refugees and displaced persons have the right to have restored to them any housing, land or property of which they were arbitrarily or unlawfully deprived..”.

  • Agia Napa Monastery
    Agia Napa Monastery 1 The monastery of Agia Napa and its namesake village are located in the Famagusta district, in southeast Cyprus. The name Napa derives from the ancient Greek word “Napi”, which means wooded valley or canyon. The word is mentioned in Homer’s Iliad, in Pindar’s Pythian Odes, and later in the Christian hymnology. In the past, there was lush vegetation in that part of the Famagusta district, whereas in the area where the village and monastery exist today there used to be an idyllic wooded valley with springs. In ancient times there was a Greek city named Thronoi in that valley, and a temple dedicated to Aphrodite. With the advent of Christianity, the city declined and all that remained eventually was ruins. However, the valley with its dense forest and plentiful water supply became popular with hunters, who converged here in search of game. When the miraculous icon of Virgin Mary was found, the word spread quickly to the neighbouring villages and the cave in that remote valley became a shrine and a sacred pilgrimage for the Orthodox Christians of the area. That icon was named “The Icon of Agia Napa”, i.e. the icon of Virgin Mary of the Forest, and the shrine was named “Agia Napa”. The area around the Monastery was uninhabited until 1790, when a group of people arrived there, having fled Thessaloniki because of an outbreak of cholera. Of that group, only Nicholas Kemitzis and his son survived. The son later married a Cypriot girl from the village of Panagia, located in the hills north of the monastery, where the water of Agia Napa flows from.

  • (Helsinki Commission) on “Cyprus' Religiou
    Briefing to the United States Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki Commission) on “Cyprus’ Religious Cultural Heritage in Peril” (July 21, 2009) By Dr. Klaus Gallas Historian, Byzantine Art and Architecture I would like to thank the members of the Commission for allowing me to testify before you on the issue of Cyprus’ religious cultural heritage in peril. “There is still no complete case by case documentation of the art thefts that have been growing catastrophically in both number and seriousness ever since the start of the Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus. But there is no question that since the day of the invasion, July 20th 1974, such internationally organised thefts and the accompanying illegal trade in works of art plundered from churches in the Turkish occupied sector – some of which form part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage – have multiplied to a worrying extent”. One shocking instance that typifies this plundering and illegal trading is the 'Dikmen case', the most spectacular example of international theft recorded by the LKA, the Bavarian central department of crime. It culminated in a court case in Indianapolis in 1989 against the American art dealer Peggy Goldberg which was successfully pursued by the Church of Cyprus and the Government of Cyprus. It concerned the 6th Century mosaics in the apsis of the Panagia Kanakariá church on the Karpassia peninsula. Parts of these are now in the Byzantine Museum in Nicosia. Probably the first major account of the barbaric desecration and destruction of Christian heritage within the Turkish occupied area was the one by myself that appeared in the German national newspaper, the Frankfurter Allgemeine, on March 30th 1990.
