    ARMENIAN QUARTER OF CYPRUS CONQUERED BY TURKS TO BE RETURNED TO ARMENIANS

    Noyan Tapan
    April 2, 2008

    The opening of Viktoria (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.

    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. It is expected
    that the Armenian quarter on Victoria street will be returned to the
    community in a better condition than before the invasion by Turks.
