Cyprus - one

Tales from the boundaries of existence

Cyprus

They call Nicosia as "the last divided city of the world". There is indeed a truth lying beneath. Mixed emotions are hidden in the middle of the Ledra Street from both sides. Hatred is in the roots nowadays. Different ways of discrimination and extreme-nationalism can be observed any time in daily life.

The fear of the unknown is developed between the societies since 1974. Unfortunately we look at the past we always see the seeds of hatred... Not many people remember the times of peace any more...

We can easily understand the hatred that was built on the tales of the past by the nationalist groups, the leaders and governments of the both sides… Nowadays Turkish soldiers are said to be only source of problem on the island. It would be too pleasing to know that. Unfortunately I do not agree with that...

Gladly I have friends from both of communities who do not believe in those bullshit and want to live in peace together… I just hope…
