Living in Crete for many years, and now I am back in my house here. I have always shown a huge interest in Cyprus. I have friends there and the island was invaded by the Turks in 1974. I was here then and I learned of the many Cretan Soldiers who flew to Cyprus to help their fellow Greeks in the struggle. They took off in large Transport planes of the Greek Air Force and when they got to Nicosia, they were shot down by . . . . . . Greek Cypriots!! It was in the confusion of war and they weren’t expected.
Anyway, an American has just decided to document the tearing up of Cyprus, so I thought I would share it with all of you.
