As tensions rise in the Middle East, the role of Iran in the region’s political balance becomes ever more significant. STEVE BISHOP assesses the current situation
THE 50th anniversary of the twin crimes of 1974, namely the coup d’etat and the Turkish invasion, is a painful moment for our homeland people. The Turkish occupation and the division of Cyprus are continuing and consolidating every day that passes.
Thousands of Cypriots are passing away with the bitterness of their uprooting as refugees and with our people’s struggle not being vindicated because the treason that was committed has gone unpunished.
On the occasion of the black anniversaries of the coup and invasion, AKEL addresses a message of unity and struggle to all the Cypriot people. A message of struggle for freedom, democracy and reunification.
