Stop the destruction of an ancient church


Cyprus Social Ecology Movement strongly protests against Cyprus Churches’ plans to construct an enormous new church in front of the ancient and historic chapel of Ayia Paraskevi in Akropolis, near Hilton hotel.

This new and very expensive church will close the only free side of the ancient church which is currently surrounded by the huge building of the Central Bank and the Head offices of the Bank of Cyprus.


In an effort to stop these plans, the Cyprus Social Ecology Movement is organizing a protest on Sunday, 21st February, 2010, at 10 am in the front yard of the ancient church and calls upon all people to join us.

We need to draw awareness and show our will to stop the destruction of a historic and cultural monument which has been the point of reference of the capital of Cyprus for over 500 years.
