We applaud the decision of the Republic of Cyprus to cover the medical costs of little Asya who has been suffering from SMA Type 1, a rare medical condition that requires an expensive treatment process.
- Please scroll down for Greek and Turkish translations -
We also express our appreciation to all the volunteers, civil society activists, artists and ordinary Cypriots who have long been organising campaigns in order to create awareness and collect donations to help her and her family. This is just another example of what can be done when we work together as Cypriots.
The move has had a very positive response from both communities and demonstrated the enormous power of such gestures in uniting our country.
Compassion and cooperation are the values we need to uphold in order to reach real peace in this geography. We need to remember that people should come before politics and politics should be made for the good of the people.
We wish little Asya a speedy recovery and we hope that we all understand that working together, in unity and in the spirit of humanity, is always to the benefit of our island and its people.

Οι άνθρωποι πάνω από την πολιτική και η πολιτική για τους ανθρώπους!
Συγχαίρουμε την Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία για την απόφασή της να καλύψει τα ιατρικά έξοδα της μικρής Άσια, η οποία υποφέρει από SMA Τύπου 1, μια σπάνια πάθηση που απαιτεί ακριβή θεραπεία.
Εκφράζουμε επίσης την εκτίμησή μας για όλους τους εθελοντές, ακτιβιστές στην κοινωνία των πολιτών, καλλιτέχνες και όλους τους Κύπριους γενικότερα που εδώ και καιρό οργανώνουν εκστρατείες ευαισθητοποίησης και συλλογής χρημάτων ως βοήθεια στην μικρή Άσια και την οικογένειά της. Αυτό αποτελεί ακόμα ένα παράδειγμα του τι μπορεί να επιτευχθεί όταν οι Κύπριοι εργάζονται συλλογικά.
Η κίνηση της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας έχει αντιμετωπιστεί θετικά και από τις δύο κοινότητες και δείχνει την τεράστια δύναμη ανάλογων κινήσεων, ενώνοντας τη χώρα μας.
Η συμπόνια και η συνεργασία είναι αρχές που καλούμαστε να στηρίζουμε αν πραγματικά επιθυμούμε την ειρήνη σε αυτή την περιοχή. Πρέπει να θυμόμαστε ότι οι άνθρωποι έρχονται πάνω από την πολιτική και η πολιτική πρέπει να δρα προς όφελος των ανθρώπων.
Ευχόμαστε στη μικρή Άσια γρήγορη ανάρρωση και ελπίζουμε να αντιληφθούμε όλοι ότι όταν εργαζόμαστε μαζί, ενωμένοι και με ανθρωπιά, είναι πάντα προς όφελος του νησιού μας και των ανθρώπων του.

Siyasetten önce insan, insan odaklı siyaset!
Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti’nin, pahalı bir tedavi süreci gerektiren SMA Tip 1 hastası olan küçük Asya’nın tedavi ücretini karşılama kararını takdirle karşılıyoruz.
Aynı zamanda, küçük Asya ve ailesine yardımcı olmak amacıyla farkındalık yaratmak ve bağış toplamak için uzun zamandır kampanyalar düzenlemekte olan gönüllülere, sivil toplum aktivistlerine, sanatçılara ve sıradan Kıbrıslılara da takdirlerimizi sunarız. Bu, Kıbrıslılar olarak bir arada çalıştığımızda neler yapılabileceğinin bir başka örneği olmuştur.
Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti’nin kararı, her iki toplumda da çok olumlu karşılanmış ve bu tarz iyi niyet gösterilerinin ülkemizi birleştirmekteki büyük katkısını ortaya koymuştur.
Merhamet ve işbirliği, bu coğrafyada gerçek barışı yakalamak için sarılmamız gereken değerlerdir. İnsanların siyasetten önce geldiğini ve siyasetin, insanların iyiliği için yapılması gerektiğini hatırlamalıyız.
Küçük Asya’nın bir an önce iyileşmesini diler ve umarız ki, birlikte ve insani duygularla çalışmak, her zaman adamızın ve insanlarımızın faydasına olacaktır.
