    ARMENIAN QUARTER OF VICTORIA STREET, BEING RETURNED, AS CURRENT STATUS OF LEDRA

    Gibrahayer
    April 1, 2008

    Nicosia April 1, 2008 - Gibrahayer - The opening of Ledra street as
    agreed by President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali
    Talat has brought about prospects for fresh restructuring of the Paphos
    Gate, that extends a hundred meters from the Ledra street check point.

    To that end the Armenian quarter at Paphos Gate - now under Turkish
    occupation - is being returned to the rightful owners, the Armenian
    community of Cyprus.

    As announced a few years ago the Armenian quarter on Victoria street,
    comprising of The Sourp Asdvadzadzin Church, The Armenian Prelature,
    The Armenian Genocide Memorial, the Melikian-Ouzounian elementary
    school and The Armenian Kindergarten started going through major
    renovations, funded by the UNOPS which have taken place on quarters
    on both side of Nicosia.

    It is expected that the Armenian quarter on Victoria street will return
    to our community in a better condition than before the invasion and
    inter-community troubles.
