They Do Not Fade, They Are Not Forgotten” in Nicosia on 5 November
The event will take place at the “Archangelos” Ceremonial Hall of the Holy Monastery of Kykkos, at 7:30p.m.
The official presentation of Volume I of the monumental two-volume historical publication “Voices and Memories of Asia Minor and Cyprus. They Do Not Fade, They Are Not Forgotten” will take place on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at 7:30 p.m., at the Ceremonial Hall of the Cultural Foundation of the Holy Monastery of Kykkos, “Archangelos”, in Nicosia.
Published by Tetraktys Films, the work has been researched, written and edited by journalist, researcher and author Dr Chrysanthos Chrysanthou, with filmmaker and producer Stavros Papageorgiou serving as the project’s coordinator.
The event is held under the auspices of the “Anastasis and Efrosyni Tosounoglou” Educational and Charitable Foundation. The publication was made possible through the generous sponsorship of Anna Tosounoglou-Christofi, President and Founder of the Foundation, and is dedicated to the memory of her parents, as well as to all refugees, both from Asia Minor and Cyprus.
The presentation on 5 November will include addresses by representatives of the State and the Church, as well as collaborators who contributed to the completion of the publication. A short musical programme featuring songs from Asia Minor will follow, performed by Christina Polykarpou and Symeon Merkouris.
Dr Chrysanthos Chrysanthou will then present the contents of the book and the most significant findings of his historical research. The event will conclude with a reception, while copies of the publication will be available for purchase in the foyer of the hall.
A Historical Journey from Asia Minor to Cyprus
As the author of the publication, Dr Chrysanthou conducted extensive research in Cyprus, Greece and Asia Minor, uncovering valuable and revealing archival material from official archives and private collections. He subsequently evaluated, analysed and made full use of this material, transforming it into a monumental 768-page volume.
A particularly productive milestone in this endeavour was the research trip undertaken by the author in July 2025, together with the TETRAKTYS film crew, to Alanya, Antalya and other areas where the Greek population of Asia Minor once flourished.
The result is a work meticulously prepared down to the finest detail, thoroughly documented with authentic testimonies, photographs and an exceptionally rich collection of archival material. Much of this material had remained unknown until now and is being brought to light for the first time.
As stated in an announcement issued by TETRAKTYS, Dr Chrysanthos Chrysanthou, a distinguished journalist, profound researcher and prolific author, has poured the full extent of his literary talent into this outstanding publication.
He has masterfully combined historical documentation with the social and political events of the period. This is truly a treasure trove of memory and history, a work well worth reading, both by you and your children.
