Demands for the Removal of Commando Monument in Strovolos
December 7, 2025
The Pan-Cyprian Association of Democratic Resistance demands the immediate removal of a monument in Strovolos that honors the commandos involved in the 1974 coup. They believe the monument is an insult to the true heroes of democracy, especially since its inauguration coincides with the Day of Democratic Resistance. The association calls for a clear condemnation from the government and other institutions. It criticizes the Association of Reserve Commandos for failing to promote reconciliation. They argue that the government's collaboration with certain groups exacerbates the situation.
