Global SOS for monuments

IN A’ ATHENS CEMETERY
The Cemetery is on the list of monuments at risk for the 2012, as it faces huge problems, even statics for some of his tombstones.
The homeland sleeps deeper than "Sleeping" by Giannoulis Halepas when it comes to its monuments. Not the ancient or Byzantine ones. Not even the abandoned ones. The A’ Cemetery of Athens is one of the most important "living" monuments of the country. However, is on the list of monuments in danger for the 2012.
The list is drawn up by the World Monuments Fund and the Cemetery was found there as it faces huge problems, even statically, for some of his tombstones. The application-proposal for inclusion was made by the Municipality of Athens itself, in order to garner both the spotlight and help.
As stated in the relevant text on the organization's website, the A’ Cemetery is the oldest in the capital. It was created 1830, shortly after the establishment of the new Greek state.
There rest many men and women who brightened our public life: politicians, heroes of the Revolution, artists etc. The old man of Moria is buried there, Melina Mercouri and Jules Dassin, George Seferis, Costas Varnalis, Manos Katrakis, Tasos Livaditis, Elli Lampeti and many more people from those who glorified the name of Greece.
Among his tombstones there are many important examples of neoclassicism from the 19th as well as the 20th century: huts and temples built on tombs as well as tombstones and other structures.
Many of them present enormous problems today, even static and must urgently receive first aid.
Also the surface of the marble architectural members and sculptures shows massive corrosion – the best-known statue that has been in danger for decades is the beautiful "Sleeping" of Halepa. As time passes, without measures being taken, these problems grow. Until at some point they will be impossible to deal with.
Greece's poor financial situation is currently a reality. But also before, in times when the finances of the state were better, no one showed any interest in this important monument.
No one took steps to encourage the preservation of the sculptural treasures that exist there. Even legal problems - since monuments have owners who sometimes do not consent to their removal or repair- are an inhibitory factor. The root cause, Nevertheless, it is the absence of any will on the part of the state.

Ephesus and Hagia Sophia
The monuments included in the list of the Organization for the 2012 it's a lot – from our country only this. From our neighboring Turkey Aphrodisias is an ancient city that often makes this list as does Ephesus (the second due to high traffic, without taking parallel measures).
also, for several years it was Hagia Sophia until openings in its roof were restored and rainwater stopped entering, which spoiled the famous Byzantine mosaics found under the whitewashed surfaces of the walls.
Being on the list is a step towards taking some action with help, even with financing, of the Global Fund. But the funding is not so high as to be able to solve the problem. For’ therefore additional and many measures are required. Let's hope the motherland wakes up in time.
  • In Cyprus
    From Cyprus to the list of the Organization for the 2012 the medieval city of Famagusta has been included.

Nevertheless, I am optimistic. I want to believe that a country like Greece, with very good people and such a sky, can not be destroyed. I have a premonition that something good will happen ", emphasizes.

WRC: Latvala leaves Monte behind

The year for Jari Matti Latvala did not start in the best possible way, since the Finn in his "first" as Ford's first driver left the race too early, failing to score points from the opening race of the event in Monte Carlo. You see, the Monte Carlo Rally organizing committee chose not to use superally in the race, with the result that anyone who gave up did not have the right to restart the race. Something to note that didn't happen at Rally Sweden.
Latvala was forced to quit after an exit, which came from his own driving error. Nevertheless, he is already turning his attention to the sequel, since there is no time to think about what happened a few days ago. "Obviously it wasn't the start I wanted for the new year. Fortunately, we have a series of tests in the next few days, the week before Rally Sweden. Before that I will stay at home and try to forget for a while the races and everything that happened in Monte. After that I will prepare and only think about Sweden. With the tests before the race I will get back the good feeling I have with the car and move forward. I will be better when I drive in snow and generally in conditions more familiar to me".
Alongside, on Latvala's side is also the head of Ford WRT, Malcolm Wilson, who is sure that the Finn will have no problem and will very quickly find his rhythm and with it his confidence. "If the institution was transferred to a fight with difficult, changing conditions such as Monte Carlo, then we would expect him to be more careful. Nevertheless, as long as the sequel is given in sweden it won't be a problem. I'm sure Jari Matti will be just as fast from the start of the race. also, before the race we also have the tests, and he will essentially cross the starting ramp with two full days of snow testing behind him. Regarding the exit to Monte, it wasn't that big of a disaster, while with the footage but also the information from the car, can see exactly what happened. It's always better when you can explain the reasons for the exit. Generally, I'm not worried about the sequel".
