CYPRUS IS GREEK!!

By creating this space we do not want to come across as racist or as deliberately trying to offend. Our aim is to Keep the Cypriot spirit alive and for the younger generation not to forget their roots and their story. It is important that as a small community we stick together and show our strength to the world. We do not want uncivilised fanaticism we want positive contribution, stories and ideas. We need to help solve the Cyprus problem in a civilised, educated and mature way. We need to show that we are above all those that doubt and criticize us. We must never forget our story and our heroes and we must not give up on hope that one day we will return to that land that belongs to us.
Turkish Invasion 1974
During the 1974 barbaric Turkish invasion against Cyprus, the Turkish army arrested thousands of Greek-Cypriots. A total of 1619 persons were reported as missing as a result of the 1974 Turkish invasion against Cyprus. They transported many of them to Adana Turkey, or they detained them in Cyprus, either case in the most horrible conditions. Many of them were seen in captivity alive and well, by others who were released later. Turkey, stubbornly still refuses to disclose any information for their fortune, thus violating not only basic Human Rights, but also the International Law. Recently, the leader of the Turkish terrorist organisation TMT, Rauf Denktash, admitted publicly that many Greek Cypriots POWs (Prisoners of War) were slaughtered by Turkish militants.
The Greek Cypriot soldiers were surrounded and captured by the Turkish army after the breakage of the Greek-Cypriot defense lines at "Mia Milia". "Mia Milia" is located north of the capital city of Nicosia. Forces of the Cyprus National Guard at Mia Milia defense lines were outflanked by a massive move of Turkish tanks from Nicosia (west) towards Famagusta (east) during the second phase of the Turkish invasion. Since then, the fortune of these Greek-Cypriot soldiers, and many others, is still unknown.
Mothers and other relatives of the missing persons of Cyprus are the most tragic victims of all. Since 1974, they live with the painful question of what have happened to their sons. The mothers of the missing persons are still continuing the struggle by being constantly present at the cease-fire line at Ledra Palace Hotel in divided capital Nicosia. There, they inform tourists and other visitors about the Turkish crimes and Turkish funded terrorism against Cyprus. In this way they deter most of them from visiting the illegally occupied areas of Cyprus, thus supporting economically and politically the occupation regime.
A total of 1619 Greeks and Greek-Cypriots were reported as missing due to the Turkish military attack of Turkey against Cyprus July 20, 1974. The number of missing persons has been reduced to 1588 after the discovery of some remains and identified them using DNA identification methods. Between the identified are 5 American citizens. 613 missing persons are civilians without any military capacity/identity, including 116 women, 484 were serving their compulsory military service at the time of the invasion, and finally 514 were reservists that were called on arms after the breakage of the Turkish invasion July 20 1974 to face the attacks.
Since 1974, numerous demonstrations took place, both in Cyprus, and abroad, demanding the release of any information that would lead to the discovery of the fortune of the missing persons of the 1974 Cyprus tragedy. The struggle of the Greek Cypriots will continue until the fortune of the last missing person is revealed.
The Turkish air force continued its systematic bombardment of non-military targets. These were civilian targets, such as villages, towns, hospitals, elderly houses, clinics, water tanks, power stations etcetera. This was done in order to spread terror amongst the public, force them to flee their homes and run for their lives, and consequently better facilitate the ethnic cleansing committed against the Greek and Turkish Cypriots in 1974. This Ethnic cleansing is continued even today by not allowing the return of ALL 200,000 GREEK-CYPRIOT REFUGEES back to their homes. This photo was taken at Yerolakkos village. You can see a huge crater caused by a 2000 pounds bomb.
The Turks showed no respect, and no appreciation for anybody. Not even sacred men of the cloth, i.e. Greek Orthodox priests and monks. None were saved from the wrath and hatred of the Turks against the small island nation of Cyprus. In the photo on the right a Greek Cypriot priest is dragged inside a Turkish ship by two Turkish solders with his hands tight-up behind his back, and his eyes blindfolded. The destination was the Turkish port of Adana, where many prisoners suffered tremendous tortures and even death.
The Turkish invasion of Cyprus had the objective of "takism" in other words the Ethnic Cleansing and final separation of the two communities (Greek and Turkish Cypriots). In order to achieve this objective the Turkish air-force was systematically bombing civilian targets in order to spread panic and force the civilians to flee from the towns onto the mountains. NO GREEK CYPRIOT EVER LEFT THEIR HOMES IN THE OCCUPIED AREAS WITH THEIR OWN FREE WILL THEY WERE FORCED AND BRUTALY TORTURED
