president's Greeting
Famagusta Dental Association
Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Famagusta Dental Association, I would like to welcome you to the official Website of our Association.
Its purpose is the valid and timely information about our Association, the possibility of online registration in all events of our Association (Conferences, Seminars, etc.) as well as the information of our members and not only on all matters that concern them.
Our Website will also archive all the events of the Association so that the next generations will be able to know all the History and Activities of the Association throughout the years.
Extensive reference is also made to the History of Famagusta, always respecting the Historicity of the City from which we come and which we are deprived of after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, the illegal occupation of 37% of the island since then, the displacement of more than 200,000 people and the unjust loss of thousands of lives.
Of course it was expected that the Medical/Dental Community would have been hugely affected by the forced exodus of many members of all of the Associations of Cyprus associated with the areas occupied in 1974 (Keryneia, Famagusta), including the Famagusta Dental Association, since the refugeeization forced most colleagues from Famagusta to look for professional accommodation in other provinces outside Famagusta.
The Board of Directors of our Association, as it is understood, consists of people who are stated in different Provinces of Cyprus (Limassol, Larnaca, Nicosia, Paphos, Famagusta) , which makes our efforts, as you understand, quite difficult.
Nevertheless, it is our aim and principle that we are in direct communication with all members of the Famagusta Dental Association, either through personal contact, or through social media and of course through the official website of our Association.
Finally, I would like to personally ask for your support in this selfless efforts of the Board of Directors of the Association and be sure that we will always be by your side under all circumstances.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Famagusta Dental Association
With cordial regards
Dr. George E. Avraam
President of the Famagusta Dental Association
The Famagusta Dental Association is the Famagusta District Chamber of the Cyprus Dental Association as established by virtue of Article 7(1) of the Dentists (Associations, Discipline and Pension Fund) Law of 1968 (L.29(I)/68).
All registered dentists, members of the Local Dental Associations of the Province where they practice their profession, are compulsorily members of the All Cyprus Dental Association, which regulates all matters concerning the practice of the profession.
After the invasion of Turkey and the occupation of Cyprus in 1974, among them the City of Famagusta and a huge part of the Famagusta District (87%), a temporary decision and agreement was made by the Council Members of the Cyprus Dental Association, that all Famagustians are to be allowed to register to the Famagusta Dental Association, in whichever other District they may work as dentists, in recognition of their refugee status. This decision is to be in effect until the End of the illegal occupation of Famagusta, preserving this status for the next generations of dentists in Cyprus as well and in keeping the memory of Famagusta alive.Â
The Famagusta Dental Association not only strives for the highest level of dental education but also has the extremely difficult task in preserving the memory of Famagusta in every way possible and doing that until the day that the “Ghost City” of Cyprus may be free and alive again…
