    NAREG STUDENTS CELEBRATE EOKA ARMED STRUGGLE AGAINST BRITISH COLONIAL RULE TOGETHER WITH GREEK CYPRIOT SCHOOL

    Alexander-Michael Hadjilyra - [email protected] - Nareg and Ayios
    Demetrios Elementary Schools co-celebrated the beginning of the 1955
    armed resistance of the Cypriot people against British colonial rule
    on March 31, at Ayios Demetrios Hall. The event was under the auspices
    of the President of the House of Representatives, Marios Garoyian,
    who delivered a speech, along with Nareg's headmaster, Artin Aivazian,
    and Ayios Demetrios' headmistress, Mary Roussou; all three stressed
    the importance of the EOKA's struggle for our common history, and
    the legacy its fighters left us, to pursue the freedom of Cyprus.

    After a cultural program - with the participation of students from
    both schools - the event was concluded with a reception that included
    food from the countries of origin of the students, namely Armenia,
    Cyprus, Greece, Russia, Georgia and Constantinople, Turkey.

    Functions like this remind us the importance of interculturalism and
    the bonds it creates between Greek- and Armenian-Cypriots, as well
    as our historical duty to our common homeland.
