27 September 2012 Nicosia, Cyprus Informal Meeting of EU Ministers of Defence 26 - 27 September 2012 Nicosia, Cyprus 1 Published and edited by the Secretariat of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU, Republic of Cyprus Welcome address and programme edited by Ministry of Defence, Republic of Cyprus Photographic credits: Photo Section of the Press and Information Office Maps: Department of Lands and Surveys, Republic of Cyprus Printed by Nicolaou Printing Group Information valid as of 20 September 2012. This information may be subsequently updated - please check the pdf version on cy2012.eu 2 3 Welcome Address It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Nicosia where our Informal Meeting of EU Ministers of Defence will take place. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city in the Eastern Mediterranean, rich in history and culture that combines its historic past with the amenities of a modern city, despite the unfortunate fact that it remains the last divided capital in Europe. The venue of our meeting will be the ‘Zenon Kitievs’ hall, located within the newly renovated Filoxenia Conference Centre, where the heart of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union will be beating in the following months. Recently inaugurated by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, H.E. Mr Demetris Christofias, this facility has been transformed into a modern and technologically advanced Conference Centre, capable of ensuring organizational efficiency and the success of our meeting. We all bear witness to the rapidly expanding role of the European Union, in the global security environment of the 21st century, which is increasingly characterized by multi – faceted complexities, uncertainties and challenges. Within this fragile security context, the EU is called upon to undertake a protagonistic role, to become more capable, coherent and strategic as a global factor. Inarguably, in a world of financial austerity and limited national resources, the Common Security and Defence Policy still provides the EU with an invaluable tool to consolidate its presence in today’s crises theatres. To this end, it is evident that the EU has achieved significant progress in various CSDP issues, as is the pooling & sharing of military capabilities through a number of concrete and innovative projects. In addition, the EU’s comprehensive approach to crisis management has revealed a potential to attain coherence, as was displayed in the Horn of Africa where both civilian and military CSDP operations materialized. Nowadays, the international community is witnessing the dramatic changes underway in the region of the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel, with great concern and agony. Authoritarian regimes are being overthrown and new forces are emerging at the forefront of internal developments, political reforms and regional balances. In this context, it is evident that the EU is called upon to operate in crises theatres, due to its proximity to the countries in the southern and eastern Mediterranean, with an array of CSDP tools at its disposal. Our goal is to support the peoples of the region in their effort to establish their own democratic institutions, societies and states. 4 In this framework, the Nicosia meeting will focus on the Security Issues in the EU’s Southern Neighbourhood, as well as on Capabilities, Operations and Missions of the EU. To this extent, I am confident that through constructive discussions, in the spirit of consensus, we will achieve yet another milestone in strengthening the global role of the EU as a soft, cultured, trustworthy and effective power for peace, security, stability and growth. Our Common Security and Defence Policy is built with common efforts. We share a common vision for a better Europe and a better World. We also share a common belief, that a better Europe is needed for a better World.

PERMANENT MISSION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS TO THE UNITED NATIONS BZO SECOND AVENUE NEW YORK, N. Y. IOOI7 Ref: 2002/77/2 Excellency, I have the honour to refer to the decision of the President of Cyprus, Mr. Kyprianou, to visit during this month the Greek Cypriot citizens of the Republic in the occupied area of Karpass. This decision, together with a request that the necessary facilities might be provided by the United Nations, was communicated yesterday to your Special Representative, Ambassador Galindo Pohl, who undertook to communicate with the Secretary-General on the subject. Sub- sequently, Ambassador Pohl informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Mr. Denktash places conditions for such visit, to the effect that a letter by the President of the Republic should be addressed to him as President of the so-called "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus", or that a meeting between them be arranged to discuss the matter. The President has the legitimate and fundamental right to visit citizens of the Republic in any part of the territory, particularly when, as in this case, the visit is motivated purely by humanitarian reasons, having regard to the situation of the Greek Cypriot citizens in the Karpass.

  • Crossroads of Civilizations
    CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATIONS TRAVEL PLANNER REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS – 50 YEARS 1960-2010 Welcome to Cyprus KOPIASTE!Dear Traveler: There are myriad islands in the Mediterranean, but only one does Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love, call home, and that’s Cyprus. In 2010, Cyprus celebrates its 50th anniversary as an independent Republic, and there’s never been a better time to plan your visit. Whatever your pace or special interest, Cyprus is uniquely poised to welcome you. Our beaches are not only beautiful, they are certified as among the cleanest in Europe. And, just a short drive from the crystal clear waters of our coast are the pine-clad Troodos Mountains, where wild moufflons roam and cedars grow, and gem-like churches and monasteries are replete with unmatched Byzantine frescoes and icons. Cyprus is a haven for archaeology lovers. From Neolithic settlements more than 10,000 years old, to spectacular Greco-Roman ruins, such as the ancient seaside amphitheater of Kourion, to Crusader fortresses such as Kolossi, the list of treasures is boundless. By no means will you want to miss Pafos, a wellspring of antiquities in the west, including the mysterious Tombs of the Kings…and Roman mosaics that are so colorful, extensive and well-preserved, they are recognized by UNESCO. Although Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, it is surprisingly compact and easy to explore. In between rugged mountain peaks and the shimmering coast you’ll traverse untrammeled landscapes and rolling hills with vineyards that still produce the world’s oldest named dessert wine, sweet Commandaria.

  • Map 72 Cyprus Compiled by D
    Map 72 Cyprus Compiled by D. Rupp, 1994 Introduction Many factors, both ancient and not so ancient, have contributed to the cultural map that can be constructed of Cyprus between 1100 B.C. and A.D. 640. Before the beginning of the third century B.C. the island remained on the periphery of the Greek world. Only then did hellenization begin to permeate its entire society, not just the elite in the urban centers of some of the Iron Age kingdoms. Political and economic ties with the Levant, as well as cultural influences, had contributed significantly to shaping the Cypriote landscape in the Iron Age. Until hellenization irrevocably transformed Cypriote society and its use of the landscape in the Hellenistic period, the historical geography of the island must be understood in its own indigenous terms. Aside from the principal urban centers of the Iron Age kingdoms, Greek and Roman sources do not provide a wealth of detailed information on the geography of Cyprus. Extant epigraphical sources are likewise relatively mute on this topic. It is thus archaeology that must be employed as the primary source for historical geography. In the later nineteenth century, the plundering of chamber tombs and of rural sanctuaries under the guise of research was the norm in Cypriote archaeology. Although subsequently this regrettable approach was abandoned and the scientific excavation of kingdom centers commenced, fascination with the material culture revealed by tombs and by sanctuaries continued unabated. As a result, while there now exists a wealth of evidence for their location, overall distribution patterns and periods of occupation, by contrast the location, size and nature of settlements is much less well understood.

  • CHRISTIAN MONUMENTS of CYPRUS Under Turkish Military Occupation Map Sections
    CHRISTIAN MONUMENTS OF CYPRUS Under Turkish Military Occupation “ And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul (who is also called Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. “ Acts 13:6-12 The Conversion of the Proconsul – Raphael, 1515-16 CONTENTS Monastery of Profitis Elias, Ayia Marina Skilloura.
