Ethnic Dimensions to World Heritage: Conservation of the Architectural Heritage of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
A brief survey of the historic monuments and sites of Northern Cyprus, from the Neolithic to the British Colonial period, is followed by a review of past and present provision for their custody, conservation and maintenance, and presentation to the public. The role of the principal agencies with responsibilities in this field—Evkaf (The Commissioners for Religious and Charitable Foundations) and the Department of Antiquities and Museums—is examined, and their objectives, operational procedures and achievements analysed. Their major conservation achievements—St Nicholas Cathedral (Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque), Famagusta, and Kyrenia Castle—are reviewed, and major problems and weaknesses are identified.
Monuments and historic sites at risk are discussed, and a variety of current initiatives are examined—the UNHCR-funded programme of urban conservation in the historic centre of the city of Nicosia, municipal initiatives in Famagusta, Kyrenia and Lefke, and private initiatives like the historic preservation of the Church of Panayia Tow Potamou at Ozanköy.
The potential role of international funding agencies in the conservation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus's (TRNC) historic monuments and sites is discussed, and the author ends with a plea to put an end to the ostracism of the TRNC and its dedicated expert professionals by the international community.
