Cyprus honours those killed in 1974 to defend the Republic

Nicosia, Jul 15 (CNA) -- Cyprus remembers and pays tribute today to all those who lost their life in defence of the Republic during the 1974 military coup against the democratically-elected President of Cyprus.

The military coup against the first Presidentn of the Republic, Archbishop Makarios, engineered by the military junta then ruling Greece, was followed five days later by the Turkish invasion, which resulted in the illegal occupation of 37 percent of the Republic's territory and its de facto division.

The wailing of sirens was heard at 8.20 local time, the very time when the coup occurred.

A church service for those killed during the coup was held this morning at Saints Constantinos and Eleni Church in Nicosia, in the presence of Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos. Justice and Public Order Minister Doros Theodorou addressed the ceremony.

Wreaths were laid at the tombs of those killed defending the Republic.

The 56-seat House of Representatives will hold a special session this morning to denounce the coup and the Turkish invasion and honour those who sacrificed their life for democracy and for defending their country.

Memorials held for dead in 1974 coup

Nicosia, Jul 15 (CNA) - The sound of sirens carried across the island this morning the message that the 29th anniversary of the coup d' etat had dawned in Cyprus, the day that marked the modern history of Hellenism.

Memorials were held in the free areas of the Republic for those who lost their life defending democracy and fighting against the Greek Junta, which led to the Turkish invasion and occupation of the island's northern third a few days later.
