Nicosia - Gibrahayer e-magazine - Wednesday 11 August - A young Gibrahay - Vahakn Mouradian - is destined to become the first Armenian-Cypriot officer in the Cyprus National Guard after successfully passing both the written and physical exams, finishing fifth throughout Cyprus.
Only 150 Cypriots officers to be out of 1,700 hopefuls, leave for Greece in September for four months, after completing their initial training in Cyprus. We believe that Vahakn will take the leadership qualities he has exhibited in the ranks of the AYF to the ranks of the National Guard and will make us proud together with all the other serving men of our community. |
| ALSO REMEMBERING THE ASSYRIAN GENOCIDE |
| Asbarez August 9- A monument commemorating the genocide of 750,000 Assyrians in World War One was unveiled on Saturday, August 7, in Australia.

More than 2,000 Assyrians and Australians attended the dedication at Bonnyrigg Park. The monument was sponsored by the Assyrian Universal Alliance and officially approved by the Fairfield city council on December 15, 2009. It was designed by Assyrian artist Lewis Batros. Construction of the monument began three months ago. |

| Letters to the Editor |
Dear Gibrahayer e-magazine,
I read with interest Beno Sevan's letter and his intent to start a AGBU YP chapter in Cyprus, it is a novel idea. However I think that it contradicts AGBU's recent philosophy of steering away from any physical establishments, such as schools (Melkonian), in return for a virtual form that is much easier, cheaper and as presented the new norm of the day. Hence a single YP chapter centrally located in NY or Yerevan should suffice where every YP member can be connected together.
I think that AGBU is hard pressed to keep their center open in Nicosia, devoid of any members, activity or programs. To revitalize that existing chapter and reengaging the community should be a priority before starting new endeavors.
As to Mr. Sevan's request for help in identifying individuals for potential membership, one would think that with his connections it would be very easy for him to access the detailed lists that were available in the annals of Melkonian archives, unless he is unable to locate them.
Sincerely,
--
