ΑΠΟΛΥΤΙΚΙΟΝ «Πάτερ παμμάκαρ Έπίκτητε, τήν σέ τιμώσαν φαιδρώς,νήσον Κύπρον διάσωζε, πάσης περιστάσεως, τή θερμή προστασία σου... |
|
ΑΓΙΟΥ ΕΠΙΚΤΗΤΟΥ ...και εξαιρέτως ταύτην τήν χώραν σου σεμνυνομένην τώ σώ όνόματι, σκέπε έκάστοτε καί χορήγει πάντοτε ταύτη, σοφέ, τά τής ευλογίας σου θεία δωρήματα. » |
This page is intended to provide information about Ayios Epiktitos, an
occupied village of Kyrenia district in CYPRUS since 1974 by barbarian Turkish
troops.
The page is dedicated to all people who were killed
by Turkish troops, or are
still
missing due to the Turkish invasion, and it is a promise to
them that we will return!
We promise that we will keep their memory and the memory of Ayios Epiktitos
alive, and that our thoughts and concerns are towards freeing our ancestors
land.

Unless there is a just solution to the Cyprus problem that will guarantee our return to Ayios Epiktitos, our village, we will always struggle for return. With the help of God, and Saint Epiktitos, our village's protector and founder, one day we will return back to a FREE AYIOS EPIKTITOS, and a FREE CYPRUS.
The Turkish army has forced us out from our homes with the
use of brutal military power.
The Turkish army has forced us out and away from our land and made us refugees
in our own country.
Turkish Cypriots and Turks are now living in our houses.
People from Ayios Epiktitos were never a threat to nobody. We used to live in Ayios Epiktitos with Turkish Cypriots in peace until 1974. The Turkish army invaded Cyprus and forced us out and denies access to our beloved village since then.
We mourn, but then our mourning became anger. We never forget our land, our history and our identity. We never forget, and we will always have in our hearts, and in our thoughts the terrible injustice done to us by the Turkish army. We want Turkish opressors to know that we will never accept a solution that will not guarantee our return to Ayios Epiktitos.

The "Lavaro" of
Ayios Epiktitos which symbolizes our struggle for freedom is always
present in every occasion, and every demonstration.
We protest against the Turkish invasion, and illegal occupation of Ayios Epiktitos and of 37% of Cyprus by Turkish military forces since 1974. We struggle for the safe return of all refugees to their ancestors' lands, and for finding evidence for the fortunes of 1619* Greek-Cypriots reported missing after the 1974 Turkish invasion. We will march back to the FREE Ayios Epiktitos with it. This webpage was created by
