**Project to clean up cemeteries and restore gravestones on both sides of Cyprus**

Greek Cypriot Constantinos Constantinou and Turkish Cypriot Hakki Emir were one of ten enterprises to receive €10,000 from businessman Sir Stelios Hadji-Ioannou in his annual bi-communal business award scheme for their project to clean up cemeteries and restore gravestones on both sides of the divide.

“For example, if a Turkish Cypriot wants to restore a gravestone in the Limassol Turkish Cypriot graveyard, it will be easier for me to go do the job instead of Hakki, and the same applies if a Greek Cypriot wants to have a relative’s grave fixed in the north; Hakki will do the job on my behalf,” Constantinou said.

“There won’t be a transfer of goods through the green line; each will do their job, but for the other’s customers.”
But beyond the practicalities, there is also the need for real bi-communal co-operation as local communities will have to be involved….

It’s Greek-Cypriot, not ‚european‘
It’s Christian, not ‚religious‘
