with all respekt to sad story of the greek cypriot people, i must say that i do not find this city particularly nice, it has been built with mega big hotels which ruin the beautiful nature..but i hope one day all greek cypriots would return to their homes
with all that is goin on in the middle east, i they all get together and peacfully march back in to fumagusta with all the new media and what not it will be pulled to international communities attention.... i had no idea about this place till tonight, go home take you home back be free, its a shame to let that place just sit empty peacfully march in video it all up load it to twitter cnn all that
How can they feel so proud? So proud that they've ripped peoples life away, that they've ruined their family home. That they've destroyed a thriving town and left it empty, used for waste. The houses are decaying, the buildings mainly ruined and not a soul even walks into the city. Imagine one day we walked into Turkey and shot down all their people. They'd react differently eh?
@aguythatlikesipods Yes If you appeared inside the city right now you would be shot. We visited Famagusta as part of a family holiday and the yellow line of tape seperates you from it. Only cars can pass through but no humans can.
this city is not under occupation. I served in Cyprus, there is no military presence here.
The only reason why it's a ghost town is the fact that it is a ghost town. There is nobody there, so nobody moves there.
It was abandoned in the War where greeks fled out of the fear that Turks were going to shell it to pieces. when the Turks came, they found it empty so they turned it into a base for the rest of the war and moved out after. It's on the greek side, people can just walk into it.
offcourse this is very sad and i hope that this people return together and live together, greeks and turkish but what about chams ??? what about theyre abandoned villages in greece ???? what about greek genocyde in chameria ???
The people who lost their homes should all join one day at the barriers and cut their way through, walk back onto the land that was lost, their land...they should be prepared to die for their land. What soldier would open fire on 1000s of ordinary men, women and children? Act before it is too late
we all need to stick in at fighting for our land back ,ive got 15 acres of land in nicosia , im a multimillionaire on paper but nothing in the bank ,it was my inheritance, its my routes i need to live ther im in england at the minute but feel i belong to cyprus soon it will be ours again
the more time goes by the less likely it will be that the Greeks Cypriots will return to their homes in the north .The generations directly affected by the invasion of '74 will die out and with them the passion and desire to claim back their stolen land :(
Osmanli,well said, if the Turkish army did not intervene, there will be no Turkish Cypriots left, these Greeks would have murdered them all. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE BLOOD THIRSTY PEOPLE SHOULD BE BE ALLOWED BACK!
We lived in Famagusta - 71 Hesperides Street - from 1971 to leaving a week before the invasion.
I'd love to go back and see what happened to Andreas, his wife and kids...

You are proud of abandonment, of decay, of waste, of people unable to return to their homes, of spite.
You must be so proud.
Shame on you.
