[01] DALI - MOSQUE - MINISTRY OF INTERIOR
Newly appointed Minister of Interior Neoklis Silikiotis and former
Minister of Interior Andreas Christou handed over to the Municipal
authority of Idalion (Dali) south of the capital Nicosia, the restored
mosque of Ziyia Pasha.
Restoration began in 2001 under an initiative of the Dali Municipal
Authority and was completed in June this year. Its financing was
undertaken by the Department for Administration of Turkish Cypriot
Properties and the Interior Ministry.
Speaking at the ceremony for the reopening of the Turkish Cypriot
Mosque at Dali, Silikiotis said the Ministry of Interior for the last
three years has made many efforts to restore the Turkish schools,
cemeteries and mosques and that 860.000 CY pounds (one Cyprus pound
equals to around two US dollars) were spent for this purpose.
