Echoes in Ruin

An abandoned Turkish Cypriot Muslim cemetery in Tochni. The dates on the graves were all from before 1974. Tochni is a beautiful village and worth a visit to see however it has a dark past. Many Turkish Cypriots lived here and after Turkeys invasion and the horrible crimes committed by them against the Greek Cypriot population, the Greek Cypriots in the village and nearby clashed with the Turkish Cypriots, all out of sudden anger, pain and revenge which resulted in many killings of innocent Turkish Cypriots who had no role in the conflict, which was wrong and should not have happened. Its a very sad state of affairs how this atrocity played out. From both sides, the Cypriots, unfortunately, caught up in the conflict - Tochni.
