Cypriot Core‟ Demarcating the „Cypriot Core‟ Ideology and Pluralistic Cyprocentric Identification in the post- partitioned Republic of Cyprus Antonis Pastellopoulos Supervisor: Dr. A.T. (Alex) Strating UvA ID: 11665238 Second Reader: Dr. O.G.A. (Oskar) Verkaaik [email protected] Third Reader: Dr. B. (Barak) Kalir MSc in Cultural and Social Anthropology Universiteit van Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences 8th of June, 2018 This thesis is dedicated to the memory of Cypriot sociologist Caesar Mavratsas, who passed away in the autumn of 2017, and who had the courage, like so many others, to engage in critical scholarship in a period when such scholarship was neither welcomed, nor widely tolerated within the troubled island of Cyprus. Declaration of Originality I have read and understood the University of Amsterdam plagiarism policy [http://student.uva.nl/mcsa/az/item/plagiarism-and-fraud.html?f=plagiarism]. I declare that this assignment is entirely my own work, all sources have been properly acknowledged, and that I have not previously submitted this work, or any version of it, for assessment in any other paper. Abstract Key words: Cyprocentrism, Cypriot identity, Postcolonialism, Cyprus Problem, Ideology, Republic of Cyprus, de-ethnicization. The present thesis investigates the ideological positions over Cypriot identity; expressed in the left-wing extra-parliamentary political networks of the city of Nicosia, in the post-partitioned Republic of Cyprus. Drawing its data primarily from participatory observation, interviewing, informal conversations and photographs, accumulated during a period of three months of ethnographic research, it aims to contribute to the critical understanding of the ideological formations located in the island of Cyprus, through the documentation of a previously unexplored political ideological position. Most anthropological work on Cyprus has approached the island as a site of ethnic conflict, focusing on the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities as the starting point of analysis, often on a comparative basis. The present thesis offers a break with this approach, setting as its starting point of analysis ideology itself, arguing, on similar grounds as anthropologist Yael Navaro, that by approaching the Cypriot conflict from an ethnicizing gaze, its political dimensions become oversimplified and its complex, multilayered socio- political sites of conflict, invisible. By interpreting the accumulated data through poststructuralist theories of ideology, Benedict Anderson‟s concept of the imagined community and the theoretical insights of postcolonial theorist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, it is argued that the political position studied is characterized an imagined community distinctly different from the competing imagined communities dominating Cypriot institutional politics, characterized by symbolic processes of decolonization and anti-exclusionary political claims. Acknowledgments I would like to express here my appreciation for the Department of Anthropology of the University of Amsterdam, and in particular for Oskar Verkaaik, Kristine Kraus, Yolanda van Ede and Thijs Schut, whose insightful teaching was fundamental in enabling me to acquire the skills necessary for the production of the present thesis. A special note of gratitude must be reserved here for Marieke Brand, who went out of her way multiple times to assist both myself and other fellow students in our various moments of need. The present thesis would had not been possible without the careful guidance and supervision provided by Alex Strating, whose insightful comments, tolerant approach and supportive attitude; made the production of the present thesis in general a most enjoyable endeavor, as well as bearable in those frustrating and difficult moments that so often accompany the process of research and investigation. A special note of gratitude must also be made here for my informants, the people with whom I spent a good three months of constant interaction, and without which the present thesis would had never materialized. It is an unfortunate contradiction that the acknowledgment of their role cannot be made here on a personal level, as this would destroy the preservation of anonymity that I have attempted to maintain throughout the text of the present thesis. I would also like to express here my appreciation for my parents Charis Pastellopoulos and Stalo Pastellopoulou, who have given me their unconditional support in what has been a most stressful and demanding academic year. A most exceptional note of gratitude must however be here extended to Eduard ten Houten, who I had the good fortune to meet at the café of filmtheater Kriterion. Our shared conversations, exchange of ideas and infrequent encounters, as well the generosity, sharpness of intellect and kindness of his character, have contributed more than anything else in making these last three months in Amsterdam worth remembering.

Introduction The thesis hereby presented is the result of an ongoing personal concern for the documentation, analysis and exploration of the non-dominant, academically marginalized political positions in the island of Cyprus, my country of origin. If it is to be placed within a particular paradigm in the study of Cyprus, it falls in line with the increasing shift of focus, particularly by new scholars and academics, from the Cypriot conflict itself, which has so long dominated academic research, to an emphasis on those social dimensions that have remained

  • The Armenian Cathedral of Sourp Asdvadzadzin (Theotokos) in Strovolos, Nicosia
    THE ARMENIAN CATHEDRAL OF SOURP ASDVADZADZIN (THEOTOKOS) IN STROVOLOS, NICOSIA research-text: Alexander-Michael Hadjilyra The Armenian cathedral of Sourp Asdvadzadzin (Theotokos) in Strovolos, Nicosia, next to Nareg School, the Prelature and the Armenian Genocide monument, is the centre of Armenian-Cypriot religious and community life, a meeting place of local and foreign Armenians, even Armenians and non-Armenians. It is a powerful symbol of this community and it serves as a living reminder of its mediaeval predecessor in walled Nicosia. Following the 1963-1964 intercommunal troubles, Armenian-Cypriots of Nicosia lost not only their homes and businesses, but also their church, Prelature, school and clubs. Thanks to Archbishop Makarios III, the small Ayios Dhometios chapel was used for the community’s religious needs as of early 1964; for large Liturgies, the nearby church of Saint George (1964-1969) or the Anglican cathedral of Saint Paul (1969-1981) or Nareg’s auditorium (1972-1981) were used. In the mean time, the community was trying to get back on its feet and eventually managed to build a new school, church, Prelature and Genocide monument. The issue of the school building was settled relatively quickly: the land was given to the community in trust by the government in 1966 thanks to the efforts of Representative Berge Tilbian, while the actual building was erected on Cyclops street between 1971- 1972, thanks to the efforts of Representative Dr. Antranik L. Ashdjian and funding from the Ministry of Education. However, the issue of the church was a different matter: between 1973-1974, the government had proposed various hali lands (government- owned uncultivated lands), abundant in the Acropolis area, but the Ethnarchy and particularly der Vazken Sandrouni felt the need to have the church next to the school.

    GREETING SPEECH FOR BOOK PRESENTATION Alexander-Michael Hadjilyra [email protected] Գերաշնորհ Սրբազան Հայր, Արժանապատիւ Քահանայ Հայրեր, Honourable Mayor, Honourable Armenian Representative in the House, former Assistant Secretary-General of the UN, chairmen and representatives of the Diocesan and Administrative Councils of the Prelature, chairman and members of the School Committee, Headmistress of Նարեկ Armenian Schools, chairman and members of the management committee of the Գալայճեան Foundation, representatives of Armenian parties and organisations, former Nareg Headmaster, distinguished guests, սիրելի բարեկամներ/dear friends, It is with great pleasure that I am tonight amongst you, and I am especially honoured by your presence here, once again proof to me of your factual love and your genuine interest for my work, and the importance you place on the History of this important community, whose roots are lost in the passing of the centuries. Contrary to most communities of the Armenian Diaspora, the past of the Armenian- Cypriot community has depth in time. This amazing past was my initial impetus to study the Armenian-Cypriot community, as part of my co-operation with “Politis” newspaper, for the preparation of a CHRONICLE, at around the same period I was preparing corresponding tributes for the Maronite and the Latin community. Although there are indications that the history of the Armenian-Cypriot community may go back to the time of Տիգրան Մեծ (1st century B.C.) or even the 5th century B.C., it is certain that it starts on the year 578 A.D. Since then, and for at least 14 centuries, this community is constantly changing form and character, yet remaining an inextricable part of the mosaic called the Cypriote civilisation.

  • Refugees and Citizens: the Armenians of Cyprus
    Refugees and Citizens: The Armenians of Cyprus SUSAN PATTIE Abstract This article explores themes raised by Peter Loizos in his work with refugees post-1974 in Cyprus. Using examples from the experiences of Cypriot Armenians over the twentieth century, comparisons and connections are made with these themes, particularly regarding the reconstruction of narratives of meaning and belonging following disruption. Armenians have dwelt at length on the defining transformation of the 1915 Genocide but many other kinds of disruptive changes preceded and followed this most radical one, continuing into the present. Physical and economic instability of host countries, including Cyprus, has precipitated continued displacement and migration for many Armenians. This continually creates a kind of demotic cosmopolitanism that is an openness to the world based upon a diasporic people’s juggling of identities, seeking a rootedness in a particular place alongside connections across time and space. Keywords: displacement, memory, identity, homeland, demotic cosmopolitanism, refugees, citizens, Cyprus, Armenians Peter Loizos devoted much of his academic career to an engaged consideration of the plight of refugees, in Cyprus and around the world. To Loizos, a refugee was much more than the sum of his or her troubles and his work reveals the complexity of life after the trauma of displacement as well as the many ways in which individuals absorb and transform the difficulties and opportunities faced. Through heart-rending experiences, a person not only survives but rebuilds and reconnects in varied ways. Narratives of memory and identity inform the present, particularly in disruptive contexts of forced migration, of exiles and refugees. These narratives are themselves multi-layered and often ambiguous, nesting within each other and allowing for varied interpretations on individual and collective levels.

  • Security Council Distr.: General 4 June 2007
    United Nations S/2007/328 Security Council Distr.: General 4 June 2007 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Operation in Cyprus I. Introduction 1. The present report on the United Nations operation in Cyprus covers developments from 25 November 2006 to 25 May 2007, and brings up to date the record of activities carried out by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) pursuant to Security Council resolution 186 (1964) and subsequent Council resolutions, the most recent being resolution 1728 (2006). 2. As at 30 April 2007, the strength of the military component stood at 856 all ranks and the strength of the police component stood at 64 (see annex). II. Mission of good offices and other developments 3. On 15 December, the Security Council adopted resolution 1728 (2006), by which, inter alia, it expressed full support for the process agreed upon by the Greek Cypriot leader, Tassos Papadopoulos, and the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Ali Talat, on 8 July 2006, and encouraged active participation in bicommunal discussions as described in the letter dated 15 November 2006 from the then Under-Secretary-General Ibrahim Gambari, to which both leaders had responded positively, under the auspices of my Special Representative. The Security Council called for the early completion of the preparatory phase so that a fully fledged good offices process might resume as soon as possible. At the same time, the Council regretted the continued lack of trust between the parties, which had prevented the implementation of the 8 July agreement. 4. Over the past six months, my Special Representative has continued efforts aimed at facilitating the implementation of the 8 July agreement (see S/2006/572) through intensive discussions with the two leaders and their representatives.

  • Ethnic Football Teams and Chetinkaya (1902-1955)
    1 The first Turkish Cypriot football clubs, intercommnal football matches, multi- ethnic football teams and Chetinkaya (1902-1955) Ahmet Djavit An Summary This paper gives us information about the formation of the first football teams in Cyprus in 1902. As the game became popular, we observe that there were frequent intercommunal matches and multicommunal football teams were built up within these friendly relations. The first Turkish Cypriot Football Club was formed in 1907. In 1930 the Nicosia Turkish Sports Club was founded by the well-to-do members of the community and was among the eight clubs forming the Cyprus Football Federation (KOP) in 1934. The Chetinkaya Turkish Guilds Sports Hearth was established in 1943 and in 1949 it amalgamated with the Nicosia Turkish Sports Club. This new “Chetinkaya Turkish Sports Union” won the Cypriot League Championship in 1950 and it was the cup winner in 1951 and 1952. Some successful Turkish Cypriot and Armenian Cypriot footballers also played in the Cypriot National Football Team. Unfortunately this cooperation ended in 1955 when Chetinkaya was excluded from KOP. Football has become the most popular sport on our island, introduced by the British. Local football clubs began to develop in the mid-twenties, although a few schools, notably the English School, had been playing football for many years. The English School started football in 1902. After the American Academy was founded in 1908 in Larnaca, the pupils of this school also started to play football. But for years, important matches could not be refereed by a Cypriot; an English referee was called in.

Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Lynda Stone Rebecca Bryant Madeleine Grumet George Noblit James Peacock ABSTRACT Marios Antoniou: The Prospects for Peace Education in Cyprus: Exploring the Potential for Future Unified Education through the Examination of a Bi-Communal School. (Under the direction of Dr. Lynda Stone) This dissertation is the product of the investigation of an educational institution in Cyprus, where supposed enemies share a classroom and a unifying school identity. In 2003, following the opening of a few checkpoints along the dividing line of the island that keeps apart Greek Cypriots in the south and Turkish Cypriots in the north since 1974, “The English School”, a prestigious public-private school in the south welcomed the enrollment of Turkish Cypriot students, thus becoming the island’s first and only bi-communal public-private secondary school. Schooling has historically been utilized as a tool for constructing unifying national identities. The British colonial exit strategy left Cyprus in confusion between the ethnos and the nation. Cypriots are trapped in an intractable conflict that is rooted in nationalism and education systems contribute to the perpetuation of the conflict.

  • The Discourse of Refugee Trauma: Epistemologies of the Displaced, the State, and Mental Health Practitioners
    The Discourse of Refugee Trauma: Epistemologies of the Displaced, the State, and Mental Health Practitioners ANNA M. AGATHANGELOU AND KYLE D. KILLIAN Abstract This paper explores the discourse of refugee trauma, analysing ways the displaced, the state, and mental health practitioners think about displacement and other war traumas. Narratives were obtained via in-depth qualitative interviews with displaced Greek Cypriots, newspaper accounts and press releases by elected officials, and through an examination of assumptions and practices of the traditional, medical model. Following a discussion of a range of epistemologies regarding the meaning of displacement, the authors offer a systemic epistemology for practitioners and activists interested in an alternative to the current ontology of fear and insecurity dominating our everyday institutions and social relations. In deconstructing the narratives of traumatisation, the authors suggest that dichotomous, essentialised, and atomistic understandings of self and other, displacement, nation, and health sustain in place “unhealthy” conditions that precipitate further traumatisation. Instead of pills and ethno-nationalist interpretations, the therapeutic witnessing of family dialogues around trauma is suggested for the facilitation of a process that relinquishes the desire to set it “right” and makes room for listening to our restless dead about another mode of living, a current struggle for peace, truth and justice. Keywords: epistemologies, refugee, trauma, discourse, displacement, affect, systemic, mental health Introduction 20 July 2008. From a Nicosian veranda, the Turkish flag can be seen burning brightly on the Pentadactylos Mountains commemorating what many in northern Cyprus view as the Turkish “peace operation” on the island thirty-four years ago. While the north-south buffer zone has opened, allowing Greek and Turkish Cypriots to move back and forth, barbed wire and UN troops remain on this segregated island.

  • The Contribution of Cyprus to Non-Communicable Diseases And
    Pallari et al. Health Research Policy and Systems (2018) 16:82 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12961-018-0355-4 RESEARCH Open Access The contribution of Cyprus to non- communicable diseases and biomedical research from 2002 to 2013: implications for evidence-based health policy Elena Pallari1,2,3* , Grant Lewison2, Chryso Th. Pallari4, George Samoutis5, Mursheda Begum2 and Richard Sullivan2 Abstract Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of disease burden and mortality at the European level and in Cyprus. This research was conducted to map the research activities of Cypriot institutions in five NCDs, namely oncology, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, mental health and respiratory conditions. Methods: For the period 2002–2013, research in Cyprus was assessed on its biomedical outputs and compared to the rest of Europe relative to their GDP. The research output in the five NCDs was obtained and contrasted to their respective disease burdens. The results from each of the five NCDs showed the amount of cross-country collaboration with other researchers from other European countries and from the rest of the world, and the research level of the papers on a clinical to basic scale. For each NCD field the research application was assessed, whereas for oncology the research type was also assessed. Information was collected on the development of clinical guidelines, on Cypriot newspapers reporting on medical and policy documents and advisory committees’ output as well as research and funding organisations available in Cyprus, for potential evaluation of impact in health policy on the five NCDs. Results: Cypriot biomedical research output appeared appropriate in volume compared with its wealth and the expected value from a regression line for other European countries.

    THE ‘OTHER’ CYPRIOTS AND THEIR CYPRUS QUESTIONS Emel Akçali Abstract The island of Cyprus has a multicultural population. Today, besides its native Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Maronite, Latin Cypriot and Gypsy population, it is also the home of Anatolians, who have gradually settled on the island from Turkey since 1974; Pontians who came from Georgia via Greece together with various other immigrants since the 1990s; the Jews; and the British. Despite this diversity, a solution to the Cyprus problem is still under the monopoly of Greek- and Turkish- Cypriot aspirations, with a resolution oriented between either a bi-zonal/bi- communal federation or a liberal democratic unitary state. This paper presents the so far little pronounced ‘Other Cypriots’: the Armenians, the Maronites, the Latins, the Gypsies as well as the newcomers, the Turkish settlers, the Pontians, the immigrants, and their socio-economic and political problems. In so doing, it aims to draw attention to the necessity of multicultural politics in today’s governing policies, and in future settlement efforts of the Cyprus conflict. Keywords: Cyprus Question, Cypriot Maronites, Cypriot Armenians, Cypriot Latins, Pontians, Turkish settlers, the British, the Cypriot Jews, the Cypriot Gypsies A Note on Terminology The northern part of the island will be referred to as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), acknowledging the fact that the TRNC is not recognised by the international community except by Turkey. Homogeneity has never been a reality for any polity (Soysal, 1994, p. 189). The national model still serves as a link to the past in order to justify the present and to reinforce national identity and state sovereignty (Kastoryano, 2002, p.
