The issue of the enclosed city of Famagusta is not a museum affair, but it can act as a catalyst for a solution to the Cyprus problem and be an example of cooperation between the two communities in Cyprus, said the Director of the GTP Eleonora Gavriilidi. Speaking on Monday afternoon, during the presentation of the short film "Famagusta: glorious past - hopeful future", at the Famagusta Gate, Ms. Gavriilidi said that it is an "excellent film" about "the city of our soul".He said that the common goal is the existence of an enlightenment tool for Famagusta both abroad and at home, as, as he said, after 37 years, as paradoxical and sad as it is, it needs enlightenment at home as well.
He added that the filmmakers considered it important to be more forward-looking than in the past, although, as he said, there are brief references to the history of the city.
As he mentioned, the reason for this approach is to pass the message that Famagusta has a future and that "it is not a museum case or a case of lost homelands". He added that Famagusta has the potential to act as a catalyst for a solution to the Cyprus problem and to be an example of progress and cooperation between the two communities in Cyprus.
Ms. Gavriilidi finally expressed her satisfaction for the fact that the Press and Information Office, as well as the Municipality of Famagusta and personally the Mayor and the members of the Board of Directors Nikos Karoullas and Chrysanthos Zanettou were involved and involved in all stages of its creation. while thanking those involved for their painstaking and creative work.
