Subject
Description
The history of Europe may be divided into two major periods. A period of wars and distensions, of societal or economic relations or differences, a history of destruction of limited duration according to unfolding events at any particular time, and another period of history, that is immortal, alive and everlasting which unites and brings great joy and contentment to all who participate in it.This history of the European spirit is the one that is filled with radiating light.
The idea of a United Europe began to manifest itself in the issue of stamps with a common design where the only differences were size and colors. Soon however (after 1973) Europe decided that in this way it promoted neither the European intellectual life nor opened the way for the creation of new ideas; on the contrary it only leveled down and restricted the expression of each country. It therefore decided to define the theme only and allow each country to present its own designs. Only in 1984 and again in 2000 did Europe decide to present a common design for the stamps in order to emphasize its unity. In this European intellectual history, Cyprus too has its own share, and its contribution will be presented in the successive "Europa" issues with a common theme.
