Friday, 19 July, 2024
Send us a textIain Craigie and daughter Jane revisit Cyprus after over 50 years. The island is now divided between the Greek and Turkish ruled areas, after separation in 1974. The island remains strategically hugely important, given its location in the middle of the Mediterranean sea and the unrest in the middle east.Iain and Jane, also visited Famagusta, where the Craigies lived in the late 1960s. As part of one of these visits they went to Varosha, the ghost town where Greek families fled in 1974. A haunting place. Please note, this was recorded when President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was still in power.
