The Necessity of a University Unit in the Border Town of Deryneia

The article refers to the prospect of creating a university branch in the border town of Deryneia and its importance for the province of Famagusta. AKEL supports that the creation of the branch can be an investment in the future of youth and support for communities, but emphasizes the need for comprehensive planning and avoidance of profiteering. The need for investment in public infrastructure, road network, transportation, parking spaces, green spaces, and student dormitories with social criteria is highlighted. AKEL also emphasizes the importance of strengthening public health, education, and social welfare services, as well as the participation of the local community in decision-making. The development of Deryneia is considered an opportunity to strengthen the hope for the reunification of Cyprus.
