Extractions: homepage contents part 1 part 2 ... next Music and Poetry Build Bi-communal Peace Culture in Cyprus My Country is Cut in Two Cyprus is an island so small that it takes merely an hour to drive the narrow width from north to south coasts. Yet the Greek and Turkish Cypriot population have been completely segregated by ethnicity since 1974. Though they may live only hundreds of meters apart, children have grown to young adults over these twenty-five years and never seen someone from the other side. Yet if one were to watch folk dancers or hear Cypriot songs on either side, it is likely that the same tunes will fill the air. The popular folk tune Dillirga is sung with Greek words in the south and with Turkish words in the north, but it is a song deeply linked to the identity of all Cypriots. I n growing numbers over the past years, when permitted, Greek and Turkish Cypriots have met together in the UN-administered buffer zone that bisects their island (the Turkish Cypriot authorities banned Turkish Cypriots from attending bicommunal meetings beginning on December 17th 1997; over a year later, the ban continues). They engaged in dialogue, build relationships and created an alternative to the mainstream cultures of nationalism and division that are highly militarized in both north and south. In the struggle to establish this alternative peace culture in Cyprus, music and poetry play a significant role. From the Bi-communal Choir and mixed groups of rock musicians that perform at bi-communal events, to the songs citizens sing together when they want to express their desire for peace, music carries a powerful sense of liberation and reconnection for Cypriots from both sides, epitomized when they sing Dillirga together, alternating Greek and Turkish verses.

Extractions: CULTURE Home AboutUs ContactUs Profile ... High Commission It is probably no surprise with a history so long, that Cyprus is remarkably rich in culture. Its importance has been honoured by UNESCO which has included nine of the island's Byzantine mountain churches and the entire town of Kato Pafos in its World Cultural Heritage List. Wherever you tread in Cyprus you are reminded of a strong tradition that is kept alive from generation to generation through the many events which are celebrated. Hardly a week goes by in Cyprus without a celebration of some sort, whether it be a colourful festival or homage to a saint on one of the numerous 'name' days. The 'Panigiri', a traditional open-air fete, takes place mainly in the villages on the occasion of a saint's name day. Easter, the most important Greek Orthodox religious event, is celebrated with solemnity, joy and hope. Cypriot culture is also reflected in the rich folk art of the island. Age-old crafts, handed down from one generation to another, are faithfully carried on to this day by skilful hands and nimble fingers, fashioning handicrafts, both decorative and useful, that would grace any home. The Greek Orthodox Church has been the main stay of religion in Cyprus since the lst century A.D., and in a society where the church continues to play an important role, old style values have been maintained and the family unit retains close-knit qualities that keep colourful customs alive, and underline the warmhearted character of Cyprus.

Cyprus In The Aceramic Period Article on the Aceramic Period of Khirokitia dated to the sixth millennium BCE. The settlement displays Category Science Social Sciences Regional Middle East cyprus The origins of the culture are utterly unknown, but earlier phases remain to bediscovered, if not in cyprus itself, then somewhere on the Asiatic mainland. http://www.aai.freeservers.com/cyprus_in_the_aceramic_period.htm
Extractions: Free Web site hosting - Freeservers.com the Khirokitia culture As far as we know Cyprus has always been an island, at least since the appearance of man in the Near East. Cyprus faces the south coast of Anatolia on the one hand, and that of Syria and the Lebanon on the other both areas rich in Palaeolithic remains. The aceramic culture of Khirokitia - is dated by the C-14 method to the sixth millennium B C (6020, Two features of the culture have no parallels elsewhere; a flint industry of peculiar type which is not microlithic, possibly a descendant of the Upper Palaeolithic, and secondly a round-headed (brachycephalic) population at Khirokitia itself, perhaps the result of isolation or a habit of cranial deformation. Khirokitia is not a mound, but a hill site about 5 metres in diameter situated within a bend of the Maroniou river. It commands a view down to the south coast, which is a few miles away. A paved stone road running for about 2oo metres through the settlement was traced leading down the hill towards the river. Forty-eight round houses of tholos type were excavated, a small proportion of the entire settlement, which may have contained a thousand houses and a population running into the thousands, for Khirokitia was evidently more than a village. Three main levels of buildings were found and the extremely solid construction of the houses indicates a considerable duration of the settlement. These people practised burial among the houses or below the floors, and single contracted burials appear to have been the rule. Objects were deposited with the dead; stone bowls, frequently ceremonially broken, and necklaces with women, and pins and other offerings with men or children. From the rich burial gifts of the women it may be deduced that they were man's equal.

Extractions: Hospitality 'Hoshgeldiniz' - A warm smile and a welcome are typical Cypriot characteristics Hospitality is one of the cornerstones of the Turkish-Cypriot way of life. Following Koranic tenets and their naturally friendly instincts, The Turkish-Cypriot are a most gracious and generous hosts. Even the poorest peasant in a remote Karpas peninsula feels bound to honour his/her guest ("misafir") in the best possible manner. Hospitality taken to such lengths that a foreign guest often feels s/he is suffering from an overdose of it after being plied with food, and drinks for hours and being unable to refuse anything, lest s/he hurts his /her host's feelings. In addition to ensuring his/her guest's material well being, the Cypriot-Turks make every effort to converse, no matter what linguistic barriers might exist. However, note that in this charming island republic, aspects of British culture and heritage are subtle but visible everywhere. Most people in Northern Cyprus speak good English, drive on the left, and English Pound Sterling is welcomed as an alternative payment to Lira. Let us leave you with this observation by a foreign journalist about the traditional Turkish-Cypriot hospitality: "Northern Cyprus was as good as we'd been told: miles of untainted beaches lapped by clear blue water, superb weather, cheap prices. From the moment we landed ... ...we were overwhelmed by hospitality. It was as if we and the Turkish Cypriots were old friends who'd been long parted."
