RT by @THEOCHAROUSE: This is the Aegialousa cemetery desecrated by the illegal Turkish regime in the occupied part of the Republic of Cyprus. And it’s not the only cemetery Turks destroyed in the island country.

From the report “THE LOSS OF A CIVILIZATION: Destruction of cultural heritage in occupied Cyprus”:

“Even the cemeteries in occupied Cyprus became a target for the mania for destruction of the Turkish invaders and their associates.

“British journalist John Fielding reported (The Guardian, 6 May 1976) that he and his TV crew had visited 26 villages in occupied Cyprus where Greek Cypriots used to live and did not find a single cemetery which had not been desecrated.

“In another report from Cyprus The Observer (29 March 1987) states that vandals desecrated a great number of British graves in occupied Cyprus, some of them belonging to soldiers who fought in the First World War. According to the article, in the British cemetery at Famagusta all the crosses have been smashed, while at a cemetery in Kyrenia the graves had been opened and the headstones smashed to pieces.”
