TURKS IN CYPRUS-WHERE ARE THEY?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

TURKS IN CYPRUS-WHERE ARE THEY?

Postby EPSILON » Fri Aug 24, 2007 12:31 am

Divers recovered this statue of Aphrodite Anadyomene (emerging from the sea) off Nea Paphos in 1956. The statue, in the tradition of the Greek sculptor Praxiteles, is of late Hellenistic date, the first century B.C. Its preserved height is 85 cm (about 33.5 inches). (Courtesy Alexander S. Onassis Benefit Foundation (USA))
You don't want to miss From Ishtar to Aphrodite: 3200 Years of Cypriot Hellenism. Treasures from the Cyprus Museum now at the Onassis Cultural Center in New York. An outstanding exhibition, From Ishtar to Aphrodite looks at the course Hellenism in Cyprus, the eastern Mediterranean's crossroads of cultures and the mythological birthplace of Aphrodite. The 85 artifacts on display are exceptional in themselves and most have never been seen outside of Cyprus before, including a first-century marble torso of Aphrodite that is the exhibition's hallmark. If you are in New York before From Ishtar to Aphrodite closes on January 3, 2004, you should make the time to see it. This is a unique opportunity.

You'll find them in Lefkosa, Girne, Guzelyurt, Omorfo, Lefke and Magosa and many villages.

Cross over to the North, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. You will see many Turks.

Come on man, from the things you say I can't help but feel that you're just talking from hear-say. I've been to the Salamis ruins loads of times, and it's probably one of my most favorite places in Cyprus. There are loooads of statues that are in good condition and never has anyone tried to tell me that the ruins aren't Greek.
