out the Festival:

 
The Camden Cypriot Festival 1989, 90, 91 and 92 were organised within the context of the Cypriot Arts Forum, a group funded by Camden Council in London,  whose activities were  possible only because of additional sponsorship donations by many different sources, which  are not available to detail in full here, but which included invaluable input by Helen Vassilakas, by the Bank of Cyprus and the Leventis Foundation.
 
The material on this site relating to these activities would not have been possible without the hard work over many years of its many members as well as that by the founder member of the Cypriot Arts Forum, Panikos Efthimiou. 
 

The death of Marios Tokas on April 27th 2008

... as well as the resurgence in efforts at
'confidence building measures' in Cyprus

... and of course the talks between
President Demetris Christofias with
the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community
Mehmet Ali Talat

... and in view of the debate during 2008
about the"Constructive Vagueness"
in the talks about the future of Cyprus,
it seems entirely relevant to re-present
(in an upgraded video quality version)
the video compilation produced
some months after the end of
the Camden Cypriot Festival 1991

Events Leading to Cyprus' accession to the EU during April 2003 led me to become involved in an extensive "media watch", during which I found myself archiving much of the press coverage, increasing with Kofi Annan's visit to Cyprus in February, the Hague summit in March, the EU Athens summit which saw expansion of the EU - and eventually much of the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation's coverage (mostly in Greek) of the progress of the "negotiations", and then of Cyprus' signing of the EU Treaty of Accession .... and then the momentous ....
 "Easing of restrictions on crossing the Green Line" in Cyprus.
