The Dutch mapping of Cyprus
In 2010 the Republic of Cyprus celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence. 2010 also marked 50 years of diplomatic relations between Cyprus and the Netherlands. To commemorate this, the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in The Hague and Leiden University Libraries organised a web exhibition on the Dutch mapping of Cyprus. This exhibition shows the spatial history of Cyprus, as well as the history of Dutch map production, especially the history of atlas publishing in the southern and northern Netherlands. In this exhibition 37 Dutch maps of the island of Cyprus are presented, both from atlases and books as separately published. They are presented in a chronological order. This selection shows the relationship between the Italian and Dutch cartography.

Speech of the President of the Republic of Cyprus Mr. Demetris Christofias at the 66th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York
Mr President,
I congratulate you on your election to the Presidency of the 66th Session of the General Assembly. I express support of the Cypriot delegation and I wish you every success in fulfilling your duties.
Mr President,
Over the last six months, we have witnessed historic changes in the wider region of the Middle East and North Africa, a region which is very close to Cyprus. A popular movement has developed in this region with the aim of implementing fundamental, democratic reforms. The reforms constitute a sovereign affair of the peoples and we hope that they are realised peacefully without bloodshed and for the benefit of the peoples themselves, through political dialogue and with the support of the international community.
We, the international community, should offer this support, while respecting the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the member states of the United Nations Organization. |

Nicosia buffer zone study receives prestigious EU award
The 27 winners of the 2011 European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards were honoured on June 10th evening during a ceremony at Amsterdam's historic concert hall, the 'Concertgebouw'. The awards were presented by Ms. Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, and Plácido Domingo, the world-renowned tenor and president of Europa Nostra. Six of the 27 winners were named as 'Grand Prix' laureates in recognition of their outstanding heritage achievements. The ceremony was attended by an audience of some 1500 people including H.R.H. Princess Margriet of The Netherlands.
One of the six “Grand-Prix” winners was the research project on architectural heritage of the bufferzone within the walled city of Nicosia. This project was unanimously acclaimed by the jury as a fine and comprehensive study of all the buildings within the UN protected buffer zone of Nicosea, originally the heart of this walled city. Many problems had to be overcome in carrying out the work, which involved scientists and other workers from both the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. The project is particularly important both for the quality of the work involved and as an excellent example of cooperation between the two communities.
