☦️🇨🇾 Never forget the illegal invasion of #Cyprus.
On July 20, 1974, over 162,000 #Greek#Cypriot#Christians were brutally driven from their ancestral homes in a campaign of ethnic cleansing.
This is a historical/educational tweet.
On July 20, 1974, Turkey launched a full-scale military invasion of the Republic of Cyprus — a sovereign, independent state and UN member. Code-named “Operation Attila,” it was carried out in two phases.
Thousands of Greek Cypriots were killed or executed during the military advance.
According to the official records of the bi-communal Committee on Missing Persons (CMP), 1,510 Greek Cypriots are among those listed as missing.
Between 162,000 and 200,000 Greek Cypriots, roughly one-third of the population, were forcibly expelled from their homes in the north, becoming refugees in their own country overnight.
This campaign of forced displacement stripped families of their ancestral lands, homes, and properties.
36.2% of the island was occupied.
In the occupied areas, historic Byzantine churches, chapels, and monasteries — some over a thousand years old — were systematically desecrated.
Many were converted into mosques, military depots, or stables, while others were looted or left to decay. Hundreds of priceless icons were stolen or smashed, frescoes were defaced, and a rich cultural heritage was deliberately targeted.
The Armenian Quarter (Armenomahallas) in Nicosia’s walled city, along with the historic Notre Dame de Tyre church, was completely sealed off under Turkish military control. In the northern mountains, the famous 11th-century Sourp Magar (Saint Macarius) Armenian monastery was seized by Turkish troops, looted, and left to decay.
The international community documented these violations in real-time. UN Security Council resolutions condemned the invasion, demanded the immediate withdrawal of foreign troops, and called for the safe return of all displaced persons.
These resolutions remain unimplemented more than 50 years later.
Furthermore, the demographic character of the north was altered by transferring tens of thousands of settlers from mainland Anatolia, a move condemned under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The ghost town of Varosha (Famagusta), once a thriving Greek Cypriot resort, remains a heavily restricted, deteriorating ruin and a painful symbol of this tragedy.
In 1983, the occupied northern area was unilaterally declared the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.” This entity is recognized only by Turkey and is declared legally invalid by UN Security Council Resolutions 541 and 550.
Cyprus has maintained a continuous Greek presence for over 3,000 years.
Today, the division continues. Greek Cypriot families are still barred from permanently returning to their ancestral villages, and Nicosia remains the last divided capital in Europe.
Eternal memory to the blessed martyrs and the missing of Cyprus.
May the fallen heroes and innocent victims of 1974 rest in peace.
🔊To those asking, “How can we help Afghan women?” — the answer is simple, but powerful:
First, share their voices. In a time when even speaking puts women at risk, being heard means hope, visibility, and survival.
Second, support our online education program. Despite fear and restrictions, Afghan girls are secretly continuing their studies. You can help by sponsoring internet access so students can attend online classes, or by volunteering as a teacher and sharing your knowledge with girls who have been denied education.
This month and next month, our focus is on one of our students who urgently needs surgery. You can read her story on our GoFundMe page and help if you are able.
We have also launched a new initiative called Sister Care, which supports 20 vulnerable women, who live inside Afghanistan. Please read about this new initiative, share your feedback and ideas, and support it if you can.
Third, support food aid or urgent medical assistance for widows and women living alone who have no male provider in the household and are often too afraid to go outside.
These small acts can change lives.

@muslim_world@petros_evdokas I find it astonishing that you think crime statistics from Islamic countries are valid, given that they limit access to information, free speech and do not view rape and incest as crimes. There is not a single Islamic countries on this planet that is a democracy! Not a single one
@muslim_world@petros_evdokas How could Muslims have the capacity to do all of these? They are stuck in the Middle Ages, stoning women, cutting off arms and stabbing infidels. Islam is a mind sickness. There is no "moderate" Islam as there is no moderation in fanaticism.
Four random photos that trigger the Turkish “we didn’t do it and they deserved it” response. Just a reminder why Turkey has no place in Europe. For context, the POW’s in the two photos at the bottom were executed soon after the photos were taken, the ones on the left by Turkish Cypriot militants and the ones on the right by members of the Turkish armed forces after they stole all their valuables. The person in the photo at the top right was brutally beaten to death by a group of Turkish Cypriot supposed “police officers” and civilians during an anti-occupation protest in 1996. The fate of the POW in the top left photo surrounded by Turkish soldiers is unknown.
Η Ημέρα της Γυναίκας θα έπρεπε να είναι αφιερωμένη σε όλες αυτές τις γυναίκες στο Ισλάμ που παντρεύτηκαν ανήλικες τους παιδεραστές, που έκαναν παιδιά ούσες οι ίδιες παιδιά, που ξυλοκοπήθηκαν από τον σύζυγο αφέντη, γιατί έτσι λέει το κοράνι, που λιθοβολήθηκαν μέχρι θανάτου, που μαστιγώθηκαν, που βιάστηκαν πριν τις σκοτώσουν για να μην πάνε στον παράδεισο, που έμειναν αγράμματες και που έζησαν όλη τους τη ζωή καλυμμένες με ένα πανί, αόρατες, απρόσωπες, ανύπαρκτες.
Τα υπόλοιπα φεμινιστικά δήθεν μου τάχα μου ευαίσθητα της Δύσης είναι σκέτη υποκρισία και άνευ νοήματος σε χώρες που έχουν νομοθεσία που μας προστατεύει και πολιτισμό που μας στηρίζει.
This guy is a professor. He thinks that the main global threat stems from Israel and the USA because they are taking out the Iranian regime. Imagine that this guy is teaching your kids...
Nobody has fought harder for full release of the Epstein files and prosecutions of those who abused children more than I did, knowing full well that the legacy media, far-left propagandists and those who are actually guilty would:
1. Admit nothing
2. Deny everything
3. Make counter-accusations against me
I knew that I would be smeared relentlessly, despite never having attended his parties or been on his “Lolita Express” plane or set foot on his creepy island or done anything wrong at all.
Nonetheless, the extreme pain of being accused of being the opposite of who I am was worth it.
The strong must protect those cannot protect themselves, especially vulnerable children. I will gladly accept any amount of future pain to do more to protect kids and give them a chance to grow up and have happy lives.
Can't even describe what I just received!
