in defence of bir...how often you visit a cemetary when on holidays?...

Not often, but my partner wanted to visit her Uncle's grave, who died in a motor bike accident. She also wanted to visit the Palekythro Church.

Here are some pictures of Palekythro Church (this is where my father in law got married)....







Some more grave site pictures (Palekythro cemetery)....





And driving through the "trnc" countryside, I can say that most churches and cemeteries were in a similar state (completely destroyed)!

My wife wanted to place a flower at her Uncle's grave, and that is what she did.......

Perhaps Bir did not visit the north. I know he visited the south - our villages as well as Kivisil and Istinjo.




The above is the grave of an old friend (19 yr old lady) who was killed in a RTA, in my village of Anglissidhes. I hope the desecrators rot in hell.

ALL desecrators should join this one in hell too.

thats fair enough mate you had a reason...not saying they didn't destroy the graveyards...just saying you had no reason as a tourist and it wouldn't even come up a conversation...after saying this the forum is littered with posts and pictures...bir deserves the benefit of a doubt...I think it's fair...

There is no defense for telling blatant lies....

If he didn't see all the historical and cultural destruction that has occurred in the occupied territories, then he is either blind or not telling the truth.

If you can't see all the historical and cultural destruction that has occurred in the occupied territories, then you are either blind or not telling the truth.

Cemeteries are an integral part of our family history.

With respect, cemetries are part of a people's cultural heritage and a link to the past. A reminder of the people who lived and died in a place. Desecration of cemetries is not just an act of revenge on the living but an attempt to erase the presence of a people from the land. It is no different to the destruction of churches and other monuments to the Greek heritage of the north of Cyprus.
