KARMI, KYRENIA DISTRICT

OCCUPIED VILLAGE IN CYPRUS BY THE TURKISH ARMY

TURKISH STATE TERRORISM AGAINST CYPRUS SINCE 1974

Karmi is a Greek village of Kyrenia district CYPRUS located on mount Pentadactylos, and approximately 8.5 km southwest from the town of Kyrenia.

Karmi village is located in the occupied by Turkish army area of Cyprus since 1974.

Karmi is built on the northwest side of mount Pentadactylos on approximately 320meters. The slopes are becoming very steep with mount tops of 1) Agios St. Hilarion (725meters) Southeast, 2) Kourdella (856meters) Southwest, and Profitis Elias (888 meters) Southwest.

Karmi village has four churches. One is dedicated to Archangel Michael, the second to St. Marina, the third to St. Panteleimon, and the fourth to St. George.

After the 1974 Turkish invasion, the Turkish military, and occupation army, have renamed Karmi into "Karaman" in an effort to change the demographic composition of the occupied areas of Cyprus and claim falsely that these areas are Turkish. Greek inhabitants of Karmi, never forgetting, are waiting patiently for the holy day that they will return in their village, FREE and happy again.
