In their announcement, Cypriot archaeologists demand that the necessary measures be taken to preserve the Cypriot cultural heritage. Following is the announcement of the Association of Cypriot Archaeologists:
On the occasion of the latest developments concerning the collapse of the historic Church of St. George in the occupied village of Mountain, the Association of Cypriot Archaeologists (SKA) expresses his concern and concerns about the preservation of all monuments and archaeological sites outside the Effective Democrats.
The recent destruction of the Church of St. George restores the problem of lack of elementary maintenance and non -direct measures, and testifies to the occupation regime’s timeless indifference to the monuments of the island’s cultural heritage. This is also confirmed by the present state of the Monastery of St. Makarios, known as the Armenian, in Pentadactyl and other archaeological sites and monuments. These monuments are in complete abandonment and desolation, which leads to gradual withering, which in many cases is irreversible.
The SKA, who has as his main concern for the protection, maintenance and promotion of the cultural heritage monuments, emphasizes the need for the necessary measures to safeguard and promote all monuments, while sharing and supporting the appeal of the Armenian Metropolis for immediate action.
Despite the technical committee’s efforts for the cultural heritage, which since 2008 was set up under the auspices of the United Nations, it has succeeded in maintaining more than 140 monuments (Orthodox and Maronite Churches, Mosques and Ottoman Baths, Medieval Monuments, Medieval Monuments) The multiple needs arising from the unfavorable situation, in which monuments have come across the island. Although the Commission’s main financial support is the European Union, the Commission is trying to secure financial support from international organizations and dozens of communities, which in practice contribute to the rescue of the island’s cultural heritage.
SKA calls on the Republic of Cyprus to arrange and contribute drastically to the technical committee’s efforts to properly safeguard and protect the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The SKA also wishes to express his strong concerns about the fate of the monuments and archaeological sites that have already been preserved.
Monuments, such as the church of Archangel Michael in the village of Lefkoniko and the Church of Our Lady of Assia, while they have been restored, preserved and protected by the Technical Committee for the Cultural Heritage, however, they have been left to the mercy of the weather and the weather and the weather.
As a result, SKA calls on the President of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as the Turkish Cypriot leader, to put as a priority to reach an effective agreement to rescue the cultural heritage in order to safeguard the history and identity of the island, but also to cultivate the island, but also to cultivate the cooperation and the identity of the island.
