Bariza Khiari, Chair of the ALIPH Foundation Board, emphasized: 
"ALIPH is proud to support this initiative, which highlights the power of cultural heritage to bring people together. The rehabilitation of these historic sites was made possible through the joint efforts of representatives from both communities of the island. At ALIPH, we believe that preserving cultural heritage not only safeguards memory but also fosters reconciliation and unity."

Representing the European Commission, Jutta Pomoell-Segurola, Head of Section at the European Commission, underlined:
"Thanks to the continuous commitment of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, significant progress has been made in building a climate of trust, understanding, and genuine cooperation between communities in Cyprus."

Jakhongir Khaydarov, Head of Office at UNDP Cyprus, highlighted the importance of strong partnerships:
"This achievement reflects the strength of our long-standing partnership with the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, the European Union and as well as our new partnership with ALIPH. It is through these trusted collaborations that we turn shared cultural heritage into a platform for dialogue, unity and lasting peace."

Speaking on behalf of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in Cyprus, Sotos Ktoris, Greek Cypriot Co-Chair, noted:
"The restoration of St George of the Latins and Tuzla Mosque reminds us that Cyprus has long been a crossroads of cultures, a land where diversity shaped identity and where communities, despite differences in faith or language, lived side by side, each contributing to a shared heritage. In preserving these sites together, we are doing more than protecting stones. We are affirming our bond with the land, and renewing our commitment to each other. These restored places are no longer silent; they speak of trust and reconciliation, of respect, and of the possibility of a more peaceful future on this island."

Ali Tuncay, Turkish Cypriot Co-Chair of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in Cyprus, remarked:
"ALIPH’s support for the preservation of the St. George of the Latins Church in Famagusta and the Tuzla Mosque in Larnaca reflects its mission to safeguard cultural heritage in historically complex regions. These monuments, which stand as reminders of the island’s diverse and intertwined past, also embody the vision of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in Cyprus, which works to foster dialogue, mutual understanding, and shared responsibility. By backing the restoration of sites with religious and historical value, ALIPH helps promote respect for cultural diversity and contributes to the creation of a more trusting and open atmosphere. This effort underscores the role of heritage as a powerful connector between people and a foundation for long-term peace, reconciliation, and cooperation in Cyprus."

This is a project of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in Cyprus, funded by the ALIPH Foundation, with financial support from the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme.

Through its work, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in Cyprus aims not only to restore monuments but to promote intercultural dialogue, reconciliation, and a culture of peace. Each conservation site stands as a testament to Cyprus’s shared history and the enduring value of collaboration across communities.
