    NICOSIA'S ARMENIAN QUARTER BEING RETURNED TO ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF CYPRUS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The opening of Ledra street in the Cypriot capital of
    Nicosia, 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, Gibrahayer Magazine reports.
