The church of Chrysosotira . This photo was taken from the West a few years after the
Turkish invasion. You can clearly see houses in ruins. Even the cross has been removed from the domes
|
This is the view of the church taken from the
North West. On this photo you can still see the cross on top of the church.
|
People talking about ethnic cteansing in Yugoslavia, just an excuse from the
Americans to break up Yugoslavia.
Nobody talks about ethnic cleansing in the northern part of Cyprus. The Turks are destroying everything thats got a link with the Greeks
|
|
The church now is used by the Turks as a mosque. You can see people sitting on
the floor praying. The Icons have been removed (stolen) from the walls and sold.
|
One question?? Would the Americans be standing about if one of their churches has
been damaged.? The answer is no, instead they would go and destroy a country
|
Not even our dead can rest in peace. This is the result of the vandalism done by the
turks a nation who wants to join the European Union.
No chance mate
