Address by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, at the presentation of the book “Denmark-Cyprus: When the Vikings met Aphrodite”, in Nicosia
05/09/2012 It is with great pleasure that I present today the collective work “Denmark-Cyprus: When the Vikings met Aphrodite”, the product of the fruitful cooperation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of History and Archaeology of the University of Cyprus. The publication represents also a token of appreciation and recognition by Cyprus, which took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from Denmark, for the long-standing relations between our two countries and people. The book has been edited by the Professors of Modern History at the University of Cyprus, Giorgos Georghis and Georgos Kazamias, who head the research program “Eurodaktylios”. The important research undertaken aims to establish an information database on the historical, political, diplomatic, economic, commercial and cultural relations of Cyprus with the other EU member states. I believe such publications contribute to the development of cultural diplomacy and to the further growth of relations, in this particular case, between Cyprus and Denmark. συνέχεια...
