Cyprus Memorial Service 7/18/2010

St. Katherines Greek Orthodox Church Redondo Beach, California As Orthodox Christian people living in one of the freest societies, we need to be aware that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ live in places where they cannot enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. Some of our brethren even endure military conflict and loss of life and property. Such is the case with our brethren on the island nation of Cyprus. On July 20, 1974, Turkish forces invaded northern Cyprus. One third of the total population was displaced and to this day some 1,618 Cypriots (including 4 Americans) are missing. Unfortunately, atrocious human rights violations and efforts to ethnically cleanse the occupied part of the island have received very little international attention. The Harry S. Truman chapter of AHEPA is proud to sponsor today's memorial service for those who perished during the brutal Turkish incursion into Cyprus.
