New Cyprus Museum | Requests for an extension in the construction of the project due to unforeseen circumstances

The Minister of Transport, Alexis Vafeiadis, and the Deputy Minister of Culture, Vasiliki Kassianidou, visited the construction site of the New Cyprus Museum to be informed about the progress of the construction works. They expressed satisfaction with the progress of the project. There have been requests for an extension in the construction due to unforeseen conditions. Efforts are being made to include the maintenance of the building in the contractor's contract. The columns made of concrete that were found in the summer have already been removed. The project is funded by the state budget and is expected to cost around €140 million. The completion of the project is considered a responsibility to create a museum that represents the country's culture and attracts visitors. The Department of Antiquities is preparing the exhibits, texts, and digital applications for the completion of the project.

The park features sculptures and other artworks selected by Efi Strouza for the DESTE Foundation.

Aris confirmed the predictions against Ethnikos Achnas, winning 1-2 in Dasaki and celebrating their qualification to the Coca-Cola Cup quarter-finals. The match was postponed last Wednesday due to the unsuitability of the pitch, but yesterday the "Light Brigade" achieved its goal, although with great desire. The game started with Aris scoring two goals in the first quarter, with Montnor (6') and Nikolits (15'), but Christofi's goal in the 43rd minute brought new interest to the match. Ethnikos came close to equalizing, but Kampera missed a penalty in the 88th minute. Ethnikos also had a goal disallowed in the 77th minute due to a handball by De Iriondo. The final score was 1-2 in favor of Aris.
