March 3, 2025
On July 20, 1974, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus began, catching soldiers off-guard. The testimony of Christos Iliadis from his book 'Memories 1974' describes the feelings and challenges faced by soldiers during that period. The fighters encountered the terror and reality of war, with memories that still haunt them today. Themes of betrayal and the threat from a superior military force are central to the narrative.
