‘The cry of the ancient trees Cyprus 1974’ (1975)
‘Seen Angel’ (1975)
‘The houses I had were taken from me Panagia Glykiotissa of Kyrenia (1975)
Deputy minister of culture Yiannis Toumazis conveyed the states gratitude for this donation.
He also announced the organisation of a special memorial ceremony in honour of Rina Katselli, on the occasion of the two years since her death.
