The municipality of the Turkish occupied Famagusta will organise a series of anti-occupation events marking the 37th anniversary since the seizure of the town by the Turkish troops in the summer of 1974.
Famagusta Mayor Alexis Galanos has stressed that the purpose of this year`s anti-occupation events organized by the refugee Municipality is to send out a message of national unity to jointly address the problems the country is facing.
Speaking at a press conference, Galanos urged all the citizens of Famagusta and all those who believe that the Turkish occupation must end to take part in the events, which will take place at the Deryneia checkpoint and at the Cultural Center of the municipality, on Saturday, 6th of August.
The Mayor said that at the events, a minute`s silence will be observed in memory of those killed during the 1974 Turkish invasion and of the victims of the recent tragedy at the Naval Base “Evangelos Florakis,“ in Mari, near Limassol.
