Cyprus Commemorates Ochi Day Anniversary
Cyprus marked the 86th anniversary of Ochi Day with parades and services, reflecting on the 1940 resistance and its relevance to current challenges, including the Turkish invasion.
Background
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded the northern part of the island following a coup aimed at uniting Cyprus with Greece. This intervention led to the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognized only by Turkey. Efforts to reunify the island have been ongoing for decades, involving various international actors.
