Independent candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Andreas Mavroyiannis, had a meeting with members of the Armenian community of Cyprus today.
Specifically, the meeting, held at the Central Election Headquarters, was attended by Akop Kazantzian, President of the Armenian Committee of Cyprus and representative of the association AYMA, Akop Manukian, representative of the Tashnak Cyprus party and Arto Tavitian, President of the Cultural and Cultural Association "Hamazkain".
The dialogue that developed focused on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Nagorno Karabakh, where Azeris stopped traffic on the only road connecting the region with Armenia. As a result, the supply line to the region has been cut off, as well as the gas supply, with over a thousand people stranded.
Andreas Mavroyiannis condemned the incident, stressing that this is a very serious issue, as human lives are at risk. He said that the immediate intervention of the international community is needed in order to lift the blockade.
During the meeting, the Cyprus issue was also discussed and more specifically the latest developments in Famagusta, with the representatives of the community stating that they are closely monitoring what is happening. As stressed by Andreas Mavroyiannis, we must act with seriousness and perseverance to act immediately so that we can turn things around and put the Cyprus problem back on track for resolution before it is too late.
Then, a number of issues of concern to the Armenian community were raised. Specifically, among others, the need to continue and upgrade the state's support to the community was discussed, as well as the strengthening of the voice of the Armenians of Cyprus.
