Invitation to the Famagusta Ravelin/Land Gate – Project completion ceremony

For our local readers and visitors to Cyprus at this time, we would like to tell you of an interesting event which involves the completion of conservation works of our Island’s rich heritage and an invitation to be witness to this event is shown under.

The list of foreign rule in Cyprus is long and full of endless debate, hate, and no doubt nostalgia is part of most Cypriots thoughts about their history.

The TRNC Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, the European Commission and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have jointly announced that conservation works on the St. Mary Church of Armenians and St. Mary Church of Carmel have been completed.

In cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, Taşkent Nature Park and Near East University Center Of Excellence Nature Biological Protection and Research Center, the first Biological Diversity and Bio-Smuggling Workshop was organised on 21st and 22nd May.

Girne Municipality and Cypriot Vakif Administration Coordination have arranged for signs “Ottoman Baldoken Cemetery” and “Sheikh Sayyid Efendi Water Cistern” to be placed in the Girne Ottoman Baldoken Cemetery, which are in keeping with the area.

In the scope of the work carried out by the Municipality of Girne, a ceremony was held to present documents of appreciation and participation to those who took part in the restoration and consolidation work in respect of the remains of the historical tower located on the fortification walls at Atilla Sokak behind Girne Antique Harbour.

Work is underway to improve and renew the museums throughout North Cyprus under the auspices of the Directorate of Antiquities and Museums via the Ministry of Tourism and Environment. In this context, the Iskele Archaeology Museum was opened to the public following completion of the work by Iskele Municipality.

Unlike today, the conditions prevailing in Cyprus in the 1920-30’s was a Cyprus that would be unrecognisable to the youth of today.

By Ismail Veli…….

Lurucina in 1915 was by Cyprus standards a reasonable sized village. Apart from theft of sheep and minor incidents violence was rare, but in 1915 the village was shocked to its foundation.

By Ismail Veli………

I have often written about the history of Lurucina. My website of ”Families of Lurucina” is extensive and covers every aspect of our roots and history uncovered thus far.
