Today marks forty-eight years since the military coup in Cyprus, aimed at overthrowing the then President of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios III, from the leadership of the junta of the Colonels. Five days later, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus was a fact.
As every year, so today at 08:20 in the morning, at the moment of the start of the operation towards the Presidential Palace and the escape of Archbishop Makarios from an unguarded passage to the west of the Presidential Palace, sirens sounded in all the cities of free Cyprus.
The President of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Anastasiadis will attend the memorial service for those who died during the coup that will be held at the Holy Church of Saints Constantine and Helen, in Nicosia. At 09:45 in the morning he will attend the procession and lay a wreath at the site of the Democracy and Resistance Monument and the columns of the fallen resistance fighters in the park of the Presidential Palace. The organizers are the Committee for Training and Maintaining the Register of Resistance Fighters and the Association of Resistance Democracies of Nicosia. At 11:00, President Anastasiades will attend the anniversary meeting of the House of Representatives.
