WE ARE WATCHING YOU

The old guard running our community for decades, made a last desperate
and unsuccessful attempt to have its way, through vindictive and
medieval practices by interfering in the decision-making process of
the Nareg School Hokapartsoutiun and collected the firm answer of
the community.
In an unprecedented "mob-like" intervention, the old guard wanted to
have their say on a recommended Hokapartsoutiun list, given to the
Cyprus government by Armenian MP Vartkes Mahdessian - the elected
Representative of the Armenian community.
As time passed, and the list was not being verified, it became evident
that an effort was being orchestrated by the old guard to simply have
their say and to use the sacred forum of the last remaining school
of our community as a spring-board for their political ambitions and
an arena for settlement of old scores.
There is plenty of literature on Armenian-language monthly
www.artsakank.com.cy regarding the matter, a press release by the
Armenian MP and a rich commentary by columnists.
The discussion continuous on Gibrahayer Facebook.
As an e-magazine which has voiced its concerns over Nareg-related
educational issues, we commented on the "fall from grace" of Nareg
school as early as 2005.
Four years later, after Nareg took a number of blows and took several
steps back, very few of the ISSUES we touched and commented on, have
been addressed - let alone solved - despite the numerous attempts
by members of the minority Hokapartsoutiun, the Parents' Association
and the Armenian MP.
The newly appointed Hokapartsoutiun members need to first stop the
decrease in the number of pupi ls attending the school and at the
same time to bring quality back to the school.
The Armenian community of Cyprus cannot afford another blow to the
only remaining educational fortress.
To that end - Gibrahayer e-magazine - will be watching you.
Hachoghoutiun to the new Hokapartsoutiun.
