Cyprus

North Cyprus Museum of National Struggle and TMT

By Chris Elliott…….

When I first came to North Cyprus I spent time exploring the many fascinating places in Lefkosa, and I soon discovered a museum near to the Kyrenia Gate and this was the Museum of National Struggle and I decided I would go back again as I wanted to write about it, and with the anniversary the 20th July Turkish Intervention in Cyprus 1974 now seems an ideal time to publish what I learned.

The second Sunday of July (which fell this year on 8th July 2018) is traditionally marked as Sea Sunday when we remember and pray for seafarers and their families.

Lurucina was a small village in the Venetian census of 1562, there were about 186 people living there, this would equate to roughly 35-40 households.

Three members of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) in Cyprus attended a round table meeting in Moscow on the theme of “Coordinated Multi-agency Cooperation in Search for the Missing Persons and Identification of Dead Bodies”.

Much talk about the settlement of Turks in the aftermath of the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus has persisted for nearly 450 years. Forgetting the politics of today, and the never ending debate among many who simply argue about the statistics of demography, I would like to go beneath the surface and find out who some of these individuals really were.

After 10 wonderful years of living in the sun on the Island of Cyprus ill health finally dictated that we could no longer afford to pay for any further health treatments and we were reluctantly forced to return to the United Kingdom.

I remember a couple of weeks ago I wrote about the weather and rain. At that time I had hoped that the rain and wind would change, and we would enter a proper summer, but alas that has not yet happened.

“Misrepresenting the facts for the creation of two separate states on purpose, or by deliberately stalling the process, is a form of treason,” the General-Secretary of the Greek Cypriot political party AKEL has said.

Rain is one of the most favourite topics of almost all song writers. “It’s a rainy rainy day”, “Have you ever seen the rain”, “Raindrops keep falling on my head”, etc etc are the songs which instantly come to my mind on every rainy day.

By Ismail Veli……..

The list of foreign rule in Cyprus is long and full of endless debate, hate, and no doubt nostalgia is part of most Cypriots thoughts about their history.
