  On the 1st of February 2006, Mr. Andrew Russell, Programme Manager of the UNDP in Cyprus, accompanied by his assistants, visited the Armenian Prelacy and presented to us the new programme of the UNDP-ACT for Cultural Heritage Preservation that includes preservation of historical sites, sacred places or monuments in the occupied North of Cyprus.Mr Russell expressed the view that this was an ideal opportunity to go ahead with consolidation work on the Church of the Virgin Mary about the fate of which we had expressed our anxiety at previous meetings.Mr Russell also mentioned that the programme envisaged a 25% participation by the applicants towards the total cost of any project.We raised the issue of the examination of the structure of the Church by experts and the preparation of a report on the necessary repair work required and an estimate of costs.Mr Russell informed us that an expert from Venice would be invited for this purpose and that Armenian architects could also have an input in this direction.We also raised the issue of the fate and status of the Church after repairs but Mr Russell would not be drawn into conjectures.We finally presented the financial difficulties of the Armenian Church of Cyprus and asked for the waiving of the 25% participation clause.
  
  Before his departure Mr Russell also left us a copy of "Call for Proposals - Grants for the Cultural Heritage Preservation" for our records.The "Call for Proposals" can be downloaded from the site www.undp-act.org.

  With his letter of the 27th of February addressed to Archbishop Herkelian, Mr Russell confirms the agreement to support the consolidation of the Armenian Church of the Virgin Mary within the wider framework of the activities of UNDP-ACT.
