CYPRUS PRESIDENCY 2012 ESPON WEEK IN PAPHOS* *tentative location, pending completion of tendering procedures

PRESIDENCY WEBSITE Despite the challenges that holding the Presidency presents, Cyprus aspires to rise to the expectations that the role entails and also to influence and assist substantially in furthering EU ideals and enhancing the profile of the Union internationally. Cyprus is strongly committed to acting fairly and to ensuring outcomes that conform to the spirit of cooperation in which the EU was conceived. The temporary website for the preparation of the Cyprus Presidency aims at updating and providing information on the preparatory activities taking place, as well as serving as a means for promoting Cyprus in general. The temporary website for the preparation of the Cyprus Presidency will cease its functioning the day the Official Website of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU is launched, just a few weeks before the Republic of Cyprus takes over the Presidency on 1 July 2012.

PAPHOS, A UNESCO WOLD HERITAGE SITE Capital of Cyprus during the Roman Period, then known as Augusta Flavia Claudia Paphus. A combination of two cities, Nea 'New' (later Kato ‘Lower’) Paphos, founded towards the end of the 4th century BC, and Ktima, a medieval fief, and named Paphos in Old Paphos (Palaepaphos, now Kouklia, and given this name when New Paphos was founded) was located 16 km to the east. According to a legend whose details are somewhat confusing, the city was named by Kinyras, the husband or son of Paphos. Paphos was the daughter of King Pygmalion, who fell in love with an ivory statue he had made of his ideal woman. The goddess Venus (Aphrodite) took pity on him and brought the statue to life; Pygmalion married her. In 15 BC Nea Paphos was restored after an earthquake by Octavian (later Augustus) and given the name Sebaste Nea Paphos ‘Honourable New Paphos’. After the Flavians had rebuilt the city after another earthquake around 76 BC it was given the name Augusta Claudia Flavia Paphus to reflect the favours conferred upon the city by these Roman emperors. During the Lusignan medieval period in 1192–1489 the city was called Ktima (meaning ‘Estate’). Paphos was the pre-Roman (Ptolemaic) and Roman capital of Cyprus, but when it came under Byzantine control in the 4th century it lost this status in favour of Constantia (now Famagusta) and later Nicosia.

See you in Paphos next year!
