Cyprus
The power within: A story of Cyprus and resilience
It was on my 1st birthday, the 20th July 1974, when Turkish forces invaded Cyprus and took over half the island.
Resilience in the face of adversity
Cyprus has a long history of resilience, dating back to ancient times. Despite facing numerous invasions and occupations over the centuries, the people of Cyprus have always found a way to bounce back and rebuild. The events of 1974 were no different, as the island nation once again showed its strength and determination in the face of adversity.
