The House of Representatives, having considered the ..colonization by the Turkish invaders of the Cyprus territory under their occupation, which having begun sometime ago, it still continues today to an even greater extent with a view to parti- tioning Cyprus, contrary to all concepts of morality and justice and in contravention of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations' General Assembly and Security Council on Cyprus; 2. Witnessing the daily expulsion of the enclaved Greek Cypriots in the Turkish occupied areas from their homes and pro- perty in contravention of the relevant agreement concluded at Vienna under the auspices and guidance of the United Nations' -"Secretary-General and the settlement there of Turkish colonizers •* from Turkey in complete disregard of the United Nations'resolutions; 3. Noting the delaying tactics and intransigent attitude of'the Turkish Government which, showing contempt for the reso- • lutions adopted by the United Nations' Security Council and General " -^Assembly on Cyprus, pursues by the force of arms the enforcement of its own arbitrary rule on the occupied territory and the .> creation of faits accomplisj Appeals to the United Nations' Security Council and General Assembly to take all necessary action in order to put an . 2/ - 2 - to the inhuman expulsion of the enclaved and to the coloni- zation of the occupied part of Cyprus by Turks from Turkey, to press decisively for the urgent implementation of the reso- lutions on Cyprus with a view to ensuring the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cyprus, and put an •:end to the partitioning plans ..of the Turkish invaders". ********* ,.,.131 9B6-3360 CODE 2'a]g 5 336-3361 PERMANENT MISSION OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS TO THE UNITED NATIONS S20 SECOND AVENUE NEW YORK, N. Y. 1OOI7 /-\ c« f//.f ^ y^ / ^ Ref: 72/71 The Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations presents his compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and has the honour to give herebelow a brief Aide Memoire of the points raised regarding certain aspects of the situation in Cyprus to be reflected in the forthcoming Report of the Secretary-General. The points are as follows: a) That the Turkish Cypriot side refused to resume negotiations on humanitarian matters and informed the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to that effect; b) That the Turkish Cypriot side refused to accept the terms of the I.C.R.C. on the question of missing persons; c) That the present tragic situation of the enclaved persons and their systematic expulsions should be depicted clearly and categorically as a means for averting the total expulsion of all enclaved Greek Cypriots. Reference was made in this respect to the recent intensification of the harassment by beatings and other acts of violence . 2/ His Excellency The Secretary-General United Nations New York, New York 10017 - 2 - as in the case of two Greek Cypriots in Rizokarpasso who were cruelly beaten for reporting to the occupation forces the theft of their animals by a Turkish settler. Similar instances occurred in Litherangomis and Rizo- karpasso. Specific violations of the 2 August 1975 agreement are daily occurences. Thus, despite the recent approval (at the end of October 1976) for the functioning of the Rizokarpasso elementary school, the occupation authorities exert pressure and threaten -the remaining teachers to sign petitions for transfer to the south. Also, the Greek Ciymnasium of Aegialousa, which was kept closed until now, will henceforth be used as a Turkish Lyceum for the Turkish colonizing settlers and Turkish Cypriots in the area. Similarly, the churches of Voukolis and Tavros were converted into mosques while the four churches of Vathylakas and the church of Pentayia were desecrated and looted. d) That the dangerous and explosive situation created because of the efforts of the Turkish occupation authorities to extend their control over the no'man's land in Avlona, Kaimakli and Pyla, following the settlement of Turkish Cypriots and mainland settlers in neighbouring areas, was also raised and UNFICYP's responsibilities in this respect were underlined. 2. On the question of Mr. Denktash's title, it was stressed that any reference to Mr. Denktash by the United Nations as "President" is unacceptable. Should the arrangement for the . 3/ - 3 - functioning of UNFICYP not be acceptable to Mr. Denktash under these circumstances, the Secretary-General could warn that he would report on the matter to the Security Council and, in any case, UNFICYP could insist in applying in practice the terms of this arrangement. The Permanent Representative of Cyprus to the United Nations avails himself of this opportunity to renew to the Secretary-General of the United Nations the assurances of his highest consideration.

TOO! 7 Ref: 55/75 10 November 1976 Excellency, I have the honour to refer to the letters by the Permanent Representative of Turkey (S/12204, A/31/261, A/31/267, A/C. 3/31/7 and A/31/289), annexing letters from representatives of a so-called "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus" — a fictitious entity, set up by Ankara on the territory of .Cyprus which was invaded by Turkey in 1974 ,and still is under her aggressive occupation, in flagrant violation of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations. "-rWA. Sjoeh artificial set-up came in the wake of the geno- cidal uprooting and elimination from the invaded area of its majority Greek Cypriot inhabitants (80%), and was followed by the massive implanting in their usurped homes and properties/ of alien population/ hastily transported from Turkey, in a pre-planned scheme to change by force the demographic structure of Cyprus. These facts in themselves speak of the bogus character involved of such a "state" and of the criminality/ in the pretence that 40% of the territory of the Republic, which is now under the . 2/ His Excellency Dr. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General United Nations New York, New YOrk 10017 -2- aggresslve occupation of Turkey and with an overwhelmingly transplanted population, largely alien to Cyprus, could even be thought of as na state" for the 18 % Turkish Cypriot mino- rity. It is in reality but the sad manifestation of the multi- ple international crime, now being committed against Cyprus —a stigma on our present day civilization. The settlers from Turkey have already reached the figure of over li.0,000 in an ongoing process of colonization. By unlawfully granting to them -^as well as to the 1^0,000 Turkish troops and their families*- Cypriot citizenship, Ankara strives to establish by force in the occupied area population from Turkey, having little relevance to the distinctive Turkish Cypriot identity and standards, which are thereby to be submerged and phased away. Obviously, the pretended elections of "Turkish Cypriot leadership", emerging from such adulterated amalgam of population tcan hardly be representative of Turkish Cypriot interests or feeling.

  • From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and Its Place in New York City’S Greek Community
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Directory of Open Access Journals © 2011, Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition Volume 4, Issue 1, pp. 163-178 ISSN: 1918-5901 (English) -- ISSN: 1918-591X (Français) From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and its Place in New York City’s Greek Community Michael Nevradakis University of Texas at Austin, United States Abstract: This paper examines the role that imported satellite television programming from Greece has played in the maintenance and rejuvenation of Greek cultural identity and language use within the Greek-American community of New York City—the largest and most significant in the United States. Four main concepts guide this paper, based on prior theoretical research established in the field of Diaspora studies: authenticity, assertive hybridity, cultural capital, and imagined communities. Satellite television broadcasts from Greece have targeted the audience of the Hellenic Diaspora as an extension of the homeland, and as a result, are viewed as more “authentic” than Diaspora-based broadcasts. Assertive hybridity is exemplified through satellite programming such as reality shows and the emergence of transnational pop stars such as Kalomoira, who was born and raised in New York but attained celebrity status in Greece as the result of her participation on the Greek reality show Fame Story. Finally, satellite television broadcasts from Greece have fostered the formation of a transnational imagined community, linked by the shared viewing of Greek satellite programming and the simultaneous consumption of Greek pop culture and acquisition of cultural capital. All of the above concepts are evident in the emergence of a Greek “café culture” and “sports culture”, mediated by satellite television and visible in the community’s public spaces.

  • History and Hybridity in the Trapeza Church Near Famagusta, Cyprus1
    ALLAN LANGDALE Historian of Art and Architecture University of California at Santa Cruz History and Hybridity in the Trapeza Church near Famagusta, Cyprus1 I—Introduction The church at Trapeza has been largely neglected in the art historical literature on medieval and early modern Cyprus, garnering only occasional attention from scholars in the field.2 This is surprising because it is one of Cyprus's most intrigu- ing and challenging structures. Moreover, it contains a significant example of me- dieval Cypriot mural art that has gone largely unstudied: a fragmentary Pantocrator in the earlier of the two domes of the church, possibly dating from the fourteenth century. This extraordinary fresco, even if partially ruined, deserves to take its place among the masterworks of medieval Cypriot art. Perhaps one reason that the church's architectural features have been overlooked is that there has typically been greater consideration accorded those Cypriot churches that contain notewor- thy mural art, either in fresco or mosaic.3 If such pictorial remnants have justified ancillary discussions of architecture in earlier scholarship, then the revelation of the Trapeza Pantocrator supplies ample validation for a more comprehensive study of the church's architectural style and history. The Trapeza church is a fascinating conundrum and its somewhat ungainly hybridity may have dampened the enthusiasm of researchers of previous eras. Camille Enlart was so underwhelmed that he wrote only a cursory description of it.4 However, the syncretism that once affronted the aesthetic refinement of earlier 1. I would like to thank Benjamin Arbel and Annemarie Weyl Carr for their generosity and advice on this article.

  • Bishop Porfyrios of Neapolis of the Church of Cyprus
    Speech of His Grace Bishop Porfyrios of Neapolis “Religious Freedom in the Republic of Cyprus” at the event: “Human Rights within the European Union” (05-12-2018). In July 1974, as many of you will know, Turkey invaded Cyprus with a large military force, taking advantage of the coup d’état carried out by the military junta in Greece against Archbishop Makarios III, the elected President of the Republic of Cyprus. On August 16, the fighting stopped but 43 years on, the wounds to body of the island have still not healed. Some 37% of its territory remains occupied by the Turkish army, which maintains a force of 40,000 soldiers there. In so doing, it has made Cyprus one of the most heavily militarised places in the world. Some 180,000 Greek Cypriots were expelled from their homes and properties. Today, around 500 remain enclaved in the Karpas peninsula and the Maronite villages. In November 1983, the occupation regime declared the independence of the so-called “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus”, in a move that was condemned by the United Nations Security Council. No other country, apart from Turkey, has recognised the illegal entity. As a result of the invasion, Christian monuments and those of other faiths, sacred and archaeological sites were desecrated, looted and destroyed. Everything that adorned the 575 Orthodox churches in the occupied areas was stolen. Some 20,000 holy icons, wall paintings, mosaics, gospels, sacred vessels, manuscripts, old books, iconostases and, generally speaking, anything that could be stolen for material gain was looted and sold abroad.

    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.

  • The Ghosts of Famagusta
    1 The Ghosts of Famagusta by Allan Langdale In the summer of 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus, forcibly partitioning the Island into a northern, Turkish sector and a southern region known as Greek Cyprus. The international community interpreted the Turkish exploit as an illegal annexation rather than, as the Turks saw it, a justifiable intervention to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Turkish Cypriots. When the area declared itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) in 1983 the international community refused to recognize it. The occupation of the north meant that only the southern two-thirds of Cyprus continued to be recognized as the legitimate nation of Cyprus, while the north has persevered— propped up by subsidies and immigrants from Turkey—as a ‘military occupied zone’, a designation that has resulted in the region’s economic and cultural isolation for the past forty years. This has had innumerable political and social ramifications for Cyprus and Cypriots, both Greek and Turkish, but one of the more urgent issues is the preservation of archaeological and cultural sites in the north, many of which have been subject to neglect for four decades. The situation has become critical for many historical sites. The following is a report on some of the challenges faced by people trying to conserve the region’s incomparably rich archaeological and architectural past. We routinely hear about the U. S. economic embargos of Cuba and North Korea, but the embargo of northern Cyprus doesn’t get much press. Yet that four decade long prohibition, observed by the United States and by virtually all of the world’s nations, is one of the decisive factors impeding efforts to save the region’s numerous archaeological sites and historical works of architecture.

  • The Inter-Communal Talks and Political Life in Cyprus: 1974- 1983
    Journal of History Culture and Art Research (ISSN: 2147-0626) Tarih Kültür ve Sanat Araştırmaları Dergisi Vol. 9, No. 3, September 2020 DOI: 10.7596/taksad.v9i3.1973 Citation: Kıralp, Ş. (2020). The Inter-Communal Talks and Political Life in Cyprus: 1974- 1983. Journal of History Culture and Art Research, 9(3), 400-414. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7596/taksad.v9i3.1973 The Inter-Communal Talks and Political Life in Cyprus: 1974-1983 Şevki Kıralp1 Abstract This paper conducts historical research on the inter-communal talks and the political life in the two communities of Cyprus from 1974 to 1983. The period covered by the research commenced with the creation of the bi-regional structure on the island in 1974 and ceased with the declaration of Turkish Cypriot Independence in 1983. As this period constitutes an important threshold in the history of Cyprus, it might be argued that observing the political developments it covers is likely to be beneficial for the literature. The research focused on the two communities’ positions in negotiations as well as their elections and political actors. It utilized Turkish, Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot newspapers (and official press releases), political leaders’ memoirs, national archives of USA (NARA) as well as official online documents. Its findings indicate that the two sides could not reach to a settlement mainly due to their disagreements on the authorities of central and regional governments. While the Turkish Cypriot side promoted broader authorities for the regional governments, the Greek Cypriot side favoured broader authorities for the central government. On the other hand, while Turkish Cypriot leader Denktaş had managed to unite the majority of Turkish Cypriot right-wing voters, the Greek Cypriot right-wing was divided among supporters of Makarios and Clerides.
