AKEL Criticizes Ministry of Culture for Delays in Evaluation Process

AKEL is strongly criticizing the Deputy Ministry of Culture for the delay in evaluating proposals submitted under the 'CULTURE III' program. According to AKEL, the evaluation should have been completed by January 30, 2026, but as of the end of February, the Evaluation Committees have not yet been established. This delay is causing problems for cultural organizations, who cannot plan their actions for 2026. AKEL calls on the Deputy Ministry to immediately establish the Committees and examine the proposals, granting extensions where necessary.
