Life and Struggles in Yalusa During Occupation
August 15, 2025
Marios Papailias recounts the difficult experiences of those trapped in Yalusa during the summer of 1974 through his father's diary. The diary documents their lives under Turkish occupation and the personal struggles of his family. It also includes efforts to rescue ecclesiastical relics from the occupiers. The book 'The Road of Displacement' honors the hardships of that time and the importance of memory. Marios's testimony sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of this history.
