    REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ARMENIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF CYPRUS AND GREECE MEET WITH

    Gibrahayer

    KASBAR GARABEDIAN ALSO MEETS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CYPRUS MEDIA AND
    ADDRESSES A COMMUNITY GATHERING IN NICOSIA

    The Press and Information Office - Republic of Cyprus ANC.com.cy -
    On Thursday, 22nd July, upon the invitation of the Armenian National
    Committee of Cyprus, the Chairman of the Armenian National Committee
    of Greece and member of the European Armenian Federation for Justice
    and Democracy, Kasbar Garabedian arrived in Cyprus.

    On the following day, July 23rd, at 11am, Kasbar Garabedian,
    accompanied by Puzant Nadjarian, the Chairman of the Armenian National
    Committee of Cyprus, and Arto Tavitian paid a courtesy visit to the
    President of the Cyprus House of Representatives Marios Garoyian,
    with whom they had a 45-minute meeting, during which there was an
    exchange of opinions on regional developments.

    After the meeting, at 12 noon, a press conference was held at the
    HMEM-AYMA hall, organised by the Armenian National Committee of Cyprus,
    which was attended by the biggest 3 TV channels of the island, as
    well as a number of press reporters. After the opening remarks of the
    Committee's Chairman, Kasbar Garabedian gave an extensive briefing
    on the current state of Armeno-Greco-Turkish relations and answered
    to questions.

    At 2.00pm, Kasbar Garabedian was a guest on the Cybc TV programme
    "Apo Mera Se Mera", which is one of the programmes with the largest TV
    audiences in Cyprus, where he answered TV presenter Paris Potamitis'
    questions and again referred extensively to the above-mentioned issues.

    On the evening of July 23rd, again in the HMEM-AYMA hall, a
    gathering took place, this time, with the members of the Armenian
    community. After the opening speech of Arto Tavitian, Kasbar
    Garabedian informed the audience about the ARF stances regarding the
    current situation of Armeno-Turkish relations and the negotiations on
    Nagorno-Karabakh. Present at the gathering were Archbishop Varoujan,
    Prelate of the Diocese of Nor Jugha Bishop Papken, members of ARF
    Dashnaktsoutiun and affiliated organisations.

    In all his briefings, Kasbar Garabedian concentrated on the dangers
    of the signed protocols relating to Armeno-Turkish relations (although
    they have currently been "frozen" by Armenia), the so-called "Madrid"
    principles of the Nagorno-Karabakh negotiations and the importance
    of the cooperation of the Armenian and Greek nations, who have
    similar fates.

    He stressed and explained to everyone and everywhere, that the
    instances of "Northern-Cyprus" and Nagorno-Karabakh Republic are
    compared to each other and are often identified, which is completely
    wrong. In both cases, we have the offender, which in the case of
    Cyprus, is Turkey, whereas in the case of Karabakh, it is Azerbaijan.

    Due to treason, Turkey was victorious in Cyprus and currently it boasts
    and creates all sorts of difficulties in the peaceful negotiation
    process of the issue. In the case of Karabakh, however, Azerbaijan
    was defeated and was displaced from the ancestral lands of Artsakh
    and today, it presents itself as the victim and as the party which has
    been unfairly treated, trying to convince, that Armenia has attacked
    and captured one-fifth of the land of Azerbaijan.

    Presenting these facts, Garabedian greatly contributed in the important
    task of informing the Greek-Cypriot public.
