The Association A very warm welcome to our website History of the Famagusta Association of Great Britain The association was formed back in the 1980s to bring together Famagustians and friends of Famagusta, but also to act as a pressure group for the return of the Town to its rightful owners. The Association has played an effective role both within the Cypriot Community here in the UK but also in highlighting the unique circumstances surrounding the Turkish occupation of the town of Famagusta to successive UK governments and the EU. It has also maintained a close link with the Municipality of Famagusta. The association is non-party political. The website is dedicated to all Famagustians wherever they may be living now, having being uprooted during the Turkish invasion and subsequent occupation of our Town in August of 1974. We hope to keep you informed of major international political decisions regarding the Town, meetings of the association with decision makers and functions celebrating the past role of the Town as a cultural, tourist and commercial centre. The associations objectives are: To represent our Association on the political front concerning Famagusta. in the United Kingdom, Europe and Cyprus To Lobby Governments and other Organisations on the Cyprus and Famagusta issue To update our members on the latest political developments concerning Famagusta To increase effective communication between our members through organising cultural and social events.
