Description
Residents of the Republic of Cyprus still hope for a solution for the island that remains divided, nearly 50 years after the Turkish invasion in 1974. "Unfortunately, the (Turkish) invasion caused a lot of harm to this place. We held onto hope that one day the island would reunite," says Vassilis Kyprianou, a Greek Cypriot, who recalls how he sought to protect his family against advancing Turkish troops by digging a trench for them to hide in before going out "to fight".
