2nd Invasion of Cyprus - In the studio, Stelios Leoni with the High Commissioner of Cyprus in SA, His Excellency Mr A. Mandritis
14 August marks the tragic day on which Turkey launched ‘Atilla two’ – its second invasion of the Republic of Cyprus in 1974. Turkey had already captured part of Cyprus in its initial invasion on 20 July 1974. It used the pretext that it was “restoring constitutional order” following a short-lived coup to overthrow President Makarios by the US-backed junta which was then ruling Greece. Despite the Athens junta and coup collapsing, and negotiations at Geneva, Turkey launched a second invasion to conquer more Cypriot territory. On 14 August, the Turkish military recommenced its ethnic cleansing of non-Turks in the northern areas of Cyprus through bombing, mass executions (of civilians and combatants) as well as torture and rapes. 200,000 Greek Cypriots were forced out of their ancestral lands.
In the Studio at Hellenic Radio on Friday, 26thAugust 2022, radio host Stelios Leoni chats to The High Commissioner of Cyprus in South Africa, His Excellency, Mr Andreas Mandritis. Listen to the podcast!
