Municipality of Strovolos Addresses Issues Regarding Illegal Paratrooper Monument

December 8, 2025

The Municipality of Strovolos takes a stance on the commemorative monument for paratroopers, which includes names of individuals who participated in the 1974 coup. It states that the erection of marble inscriptions is illegal and has not received the necessary permits. The municipality calls on the District Administration Organization to take legal action to remove the inscriptions. They did not participate in the monument's unveiling and do not have the authority to enforce actions to rectify this illegality. This issue was also discussed in the municipality's council meeting.
