Cyprus’ Unforgettable Tragedy of July 20, 1974

As Cypriots say, even 45 years later, July 20, 1974 was the day time stopped for Cyprus; a day of infamy when the course of the nation’s history changed. For Cypriots, the ongoing crime of the Turkish occupation of their beloved country seems as fresh at each anniversary as it was then.

It was a day that no Cypriot and no Greek will indeedever forget. The eerie sound of sirens broke the warm stillness of that July day in both countries, signaling the end of an era. But only Cyprus felt the horror of the invading Turkish troops and the mayhem they unleashed on the unsuspecting people — mostly women, children and the elderly.
