National Federation of Cypriots : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Federation of Cypriots
The National Federation of Cypriots in the United Kingdom is a London-based umbrella organisation and the national representative body and the acknowledged voice of the largest and most significant community of Cypriots outside of the island itself. It leads and co-ordinates the activities of over 300,000 Britons of Cypriot origin. As the foremost representative body of UK Cypriots, the Federation performs a two-fold role. Firstly, it spearheads the British Cypriot community's efforts to promote the cause of a reunited Cyprus, free from Turkish occupation troops and illegal colonists, for the benefit of all Cypriots. Secondly, it coordinates the work of UK Cypriots in the political, social, cultural and educational spheres as well as lobbies for and articulates the interests and concerns of the Cypriot community in the United Kingdom. In pursuing its objectives, the Federation co-operates closely with the democratically elected President and the Government of the Republic of Cyprus. The Federation also fosters close links with the British Government, the leadership of British political parties, British parliamentarians, civic and community leaders, ethnic minorities, the mass media and other relevant institutions in the United Kingdom. ==History== The Federation was founded immediately after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. It functions under a President, an Executive and a Secretariat elected every two years and is headquartered in North London. Peter Droussiotis was first elected President of the Federation in June 2007 succeeding Haris Sophoclides who retired after 10 years in the post. Droussiotis is the first second generation Greek Cypriot elected to that position and the fourth President of the Federation since its establishment.
