Inside the ghost town of Famagusta (Varosha).

In the early 1970s, Famagusta was the number-one tourist destination in Cyprus. To cater to the increasing number of tourists, many new high-rise buildings and hotels were constructed. During its heyday, Varosha was not only the number-one tourist destination in Cyprus, but between 1970 and 1974, it was one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and was a favourite destination of such celebrities as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Raquel Welch, and Brigitte Bardot.
Before 1974, Varosha was the modern tourist area of the Famagusta city. Its Greek Cypriot inhabitants fled during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, when the city of Famagusta came under Turkish control, and it has remained abandoned ever since. In 1984 a U.N. resolution called for the handover of the city to UN control and said that only the original inhabitants, who were forced out, could resettle in the town.
To this day, the UN demands have not been met by the Turkish authorities.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον βίντεο! Συνέχισε την εξαιρετική δουλειά! Μας ταξιδεύεις σε μέρη δύσκολα προσβάσιμα για πολλούς λόγους…

None of these events would have happened if you hadn't hung on to nonsense dreams like Enosis and killed the local Turkish people. The Byzantine empire was destroyed by the Turks years ago. But you still live in the dream that it will come back. The Turkish army did not invade it. We saved the Turks.
And since the day we arrived, there has been peace on the island. No one is killing anyone else.

if Turkey did not invade an independent country, as you write, then according to your logic, Russia did not invade Ukraine either! Of course, the bloodshed and killings did not stop when Turkey occupied the northern part of Koper, but because the UN and NATO intervened and created a demarcation between the warring parties.
