Dear residents of Aphrodite Hills,
as you all know on Sunday, June 9th the municipal elections took place in Kouklia where the President (Mukhtaris) and eight members of the Kouklia Council were elected to the office for the next five years. The voting ended at 6 pm. and then the votes were counted until 11 pm. which I personally witnessed (see photo). There were large crowds of people at the Kouklia primary school awaiting the results.
The new Mukhtaris of Kouklia is a young and energetic businessman Chris Kaizer with whom AHRA and AH Management had meetings prior to the elections and discussed the issues related to the resort.
As you also know we wanted to have a voice in the Kouklia Council which previously almost neglected the needs of Aphrodite Hills. Our candidate was Mr. Zenon. Please see his message below.
Aphrodite Hills residents have had a unique chance of voting a resort resident into the Council to protect their rights, but we seemed to fail to do so. We had enough registered voters to have Mr. Zenon elected but some probably decided not to go to Kouklia to cast their votes or voted for someone else. Needless to say how personally disappointed I am as the Chairman of the Association and how often AHRA has been asking members and residents not to be indifferent.
I would like to give you one famous quote: "Do not be afraid of friends - in the worst case, they can betray you. Do not be afraid of enemies - in the worst case, they can kill you. Fear the indifferent, for it is with their tacit consent that all the lowest crimes are committed on earth." Julius Fucik, Czech journalist executed by the Nazis.
Aphrodite Hills is our home and how good or bad this home is maintained is 90% dependent on us, the residents, and on our commitment to the resort.
Kind regards,
Boris Zilbermints
AHRA Chairman
Dear all,
I want to personally thank each and every one of you who supported me in the recent election for the Kouklia Community Council Representative. Your votes and encouragement mean a great deal to me.
Although I was not elected, missing the mark by just 3 votes, I am deeply grateful to those who took the time to cast their vote. Your participation and commitment are truly appreciated.
Thank you once again for your support and belief in me.
Sincerely,
Zenon Papaloizou, Project Manager
