Vassiliou: Famagusta Good Friday service sends symbolic message of reconciliation
by
KG/EUROPA
Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, has welcomed the decision to organise a Good Friday service at the Ayios Giorgos Exoronis church in Famagusta - the first such service since 1957. The Commissioner will be among an expected 4 000 worshippers at the event.
"This is a positive and symbolic message of reconciliation for Cyprus. The agreement to hold the service is a good example of the progress that can be achieved through cultural and religious dialogue. Everyone associated with organising the event should be proud of themselves. They are not only sending an important message to fellow Cypriots but also to the international community about our commitment to peace and reconciliation,” said Commissioner Vassiliou.
Background
The Ayios Giorgos Exoronis church lies within the walled city of Famagusta, which is close to the fenced off area of Famagusta, known by Greek Cypriots as Varosha.

Judge Has Hilarious Conversation With Drug Offender Named Edward Cocaine
A Florida man named Edward Cocaine was arrested on drug charges Tuesday. Really.
The interesting name was a surprise to County Judge John Hurley, who responded with a stunned "What?" after the bailiff announced the name in court Wednesday, Sun-Sentinel reports.
"You know, I'd thought I'd seen it all," said Hurley amid laughter. "How many times have the police told you to step out of the car during your life?"
"Just about every time I get pulled over," Cocaine responded to the judge, speaking via video link. The man was busted with Xanax in Pembroke Pines, New York Daily News reported.
"What's your name, Cocaine?" Hurley said, mocking what a police officer might say. "All right smart guy, out of the car."
The name is for real — it's on Cocaine's driver's license — and he explained that his great-grandparents came from Greece and changed their last name in the 1920s.
The judge released Cocaine on his own recognizance, the Sentinel reported.
