The image shows a dark gray informational panel with white text, set within a wooden frame, likely part of an exhibition in Athens, Greece. The panel is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, displaying the text sideways. The text details the history and activities of the Panhellenic Committee for Solidarity with Cyprus (PESK), established in Athens in August 1974 after the Turkish invasion. It describes how the committee rallied individuals, including named members like Lili Alivizatou and Amalia Fleming, to support Greek Cypriots. Initially, PESK's activities focused on humanitarian aid, collecting food, clothing, and tents, and operating soup kitchens that distributed over 22,000 meals to refugees in Greece. From 1975, PESK aimed to raise international awareness about the Cyprus issue, organizing events, exhibitions, film screenings, and lectures. It also created a photographic archive and published numerous brochures (over 150,000 copies) and three books in various languages to inform international bodies, Greek communities abroad, universities, and influential figures about the situation. The panel notes that after 1979, PESK's activities became limited, but it left a significant mark on informing Greek and international public opinion about the Cyprus problem. Greek text at the top left translates to "public opinion on the Cyprus issue." A small white square, possibly a label or part of another display, is visible at the bottom left of the panel.
