Haravgi newspaper, who wrote that the photograph was hung on the school board due to the April 1 anniversary celebrations of the founding of EOKA in Southern Cyprus, along with other photographs, stated that a black and white photograph with Avksendiu’s picture also includes a mention of Avksendu in the background of the photograph. He pointed out that there is a large emblem of the Greek Cypriot National Popular Front, ELAM.
