Lawyers in Famagusta – Review opening of Famagusta – Completed on 6th August 2011.

A rally took Place today 6th August 2011 in Dherynia to carry on the fight for the return of Famagusta to both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot people. These rallies take place every year in memory of the people who were killed and lost their homes in the 1974 Turkish invasion.

In light of the negativeness of the Cyprus peace talks this year was ever more important to show camaraderie for the reunification of the Cyprus Island.

The Famagusta municipality are adamant in their quest for the return of Famagusta and putting all politics aside this is their main objective.

If Famagusta is returned and the people live together there as one this is a stepping stone of good faith towards a solution.

The Cyprus president is expected to be the main speaker at the rally today and his presence is very important after the recent controversy regarding the 11/7/11 Mari navy base explosion. If the president does not show solidarity today I think any strings President was holding onto the Cyprus people will surely cut.

While the island is in shock over the Mari navy base explosion we must still remember that nothing can be taken away from the people who suffered in the 1974 Turkish invasion and today is about them and what we now have to achieve for the living.

The Famagusta Municipality urge the public to come and stand together on this issue, and show Cyprus and Turkey their true feelings on this issue.

We wish the day to go well and we hope and pray that one day we will see the return of Famagusta to its crowning glory, will this day come in our lifetime is a very big uncertainty?

Tell us your thoughts on this issue we would love to hear from you!

Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Re-opening of Famagusta Article- completed on 27^th May 2010. http://www.lawcyprus.org/

We recently reviewed an article in the daily newspaper that totally got our attention.  The article spoke of re-opening the Famagusta Ghost Town and making this a tax-free zone where Turkish and Greek Cypriots will work and live together in peace and harmony.

We found this very so very interesting and we actually think this is an excellent idea.  This would definitely be a stepping stone in to the peaceful reunification of Greek and Turkish Cypriots living as one.

The Famagusta Ghost Town was once a thriving and beautiful place to be.  It was classed as the most popular holiday destination in Cyprus until the Turkish military invaded and took control of the area in 1974.  The Turkish military are still there today patrolling the borders of the Ghost Town while the town itself sits derelict and rotting away.

It was mentioned that the area should be governed by an independent unbiased source from outside the two communities and should be a joint venture between both Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. A tax free policy should be brought in and stay in force permanently.

Can you imagine what it would feel like to see this once flourishing coastal town in full operation again, with Turkish and Greek nationals living side by side?  Just thinking about this makes our hearts jiggle a beat.

Would it not be the biggest and most historical moment in Cyprus history for Greek and Turkish Cypriots, if this was agreed and all citizens on both sides of the island put their hands up in a vote and the Famagusta Ghost Town reopened?  That day would be like standing in the middle of a magical wonder world.  Wow what a thought.

It was a pleasure reviewing and writing this article and we would like to hear from our readers how you feel about this idea. This is an issue very close to our hearts along with hundreds of thousands of other individuals so please tell us your views we would love to hear from you.

Cyprus comprises two salt lakes, which makes it a rest point for millions of migrating birds on their journey to Africa.   Amazingly, new to Cyprus are the Green Turtles, accompanying the existing Loggerhead Turtles. They are a protected species who continue to breed on our coastal beaches. The coastal waters are also home to almost 200 individual species of animal sea life.

Exclusive to our island is the Moufflon, this is a rare type of wild sheep and is the largest animal still living on the Island. The vast range of nature inhabited on the island of Cyprus is just one element adding to the beauty and natural history of Cyprus life.
