31.12.2021 – Union of Cypriots presents Honorary Awards to recognize the contributions of Cypriot individuals or organizations for our independence struggle. The Union of Cypriots Honorary Awards are given in memory of a Cypriot community leader, Dr. Ihsan Ali, who spent his life for his people and the Cypriot Republic.
In 2021, we are pleased to present this award to Galeri Kültür, which has been operating for more than thirty years with the motto “Cypriot Books”.
Galeri Kültür is an iconic institution that has published more than eighty books about our homeland, including books on Dr. Ihsan Ali and his struggle for Cyprus. We salute Galeri Kültür’s cultural efforts to spread the idea of Cypriotism and Cypriot consciousness.
The Union of Cypriots will continue fighting for the unitary Republic of Cyprus, the end of the Turkish occupation, and an island free from illegal Turkish settlers and all foreign armies, in order to have a fully independent homeland.
Respectfully announced to the public.
Union of Cypriots
