June 5, 2025
President Nikos Christodoulides responded to concerns about the book accompanying Cyprus's participation in the 19th International Architecture Biennale, stating it was not approved by the Deputy Minister of Culture. He called the content of the book unacceptable and requested its withdrawal. He emphasized that the representation of history cannot be altered, as the international community acknowledges the Turkish invasion of 1974. The publishers claimed it was an expression of freedom, which the President refuted.
