A NOTE OF THANKS:--

I would like to thank all those who congratulated me on the occasion of my decoration with the MOVSES KHORENATSI medal by the President of the Armenian Republic.

I’m delighted that next to the 16 Armenians who received the Medal in 2014, the Armenian community of Cyprus has its representative as well. I’m also humbled by the fact that in this list are our compatriots, whose work I consider to be much more important than mine, among whom are benefactors of schools and volunteers in culture and education.

I’m honored by the selection that the President of the Armenian Republic Serzh Sargsyan has made, whom I have criticized on numerous occasions in the pages of my magazine.

This award is also the result of the very existence of community structures and media outlets that operate in Cyprus. If we did not have an organized community in Cyprus, we would not be able to pursue the Armenian cause and we would not have media to echo of our accomplishments.

Therefore, I would like to share this award first and foremost with all those friends and comrades who not only now but in the last four decades continue their exemplary dedicated work for the revitalization and rebuilding of our community.

In order for us to proudly proclaim that on an island in the eastern Mediterranean, opposite the Cilician shores, in a Turkish-occupied island, under unparalleled difficulties, we can maintain an Armenian-speaking, politically active and vibrant community, we must all realize that these riches were not accomplished overnight and were not delivered to us on a plate.
We must all realize that - against all odds - they were created and maintained by a group of people who made it their mission in life to bring Gibrahay life to a new plateau of accomplishments.

I would like to share this award with all the spirited volunteers, who have created the cultural, educational, political, athletic, benevolent and media outlets of Gibrahay life.
