«Υπόσχεση : Δεν Ξεχνώ»

In 2024 it will be fifty years since the illegal Turkish invasion (July-August 1974) and the occupation of approximately 37% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus 
It was exactly 5:30 in the morning of July 20, 1974, when the sky of Nicosia was filled with paratroopers. They were falling around Mount Pentadaktylos, armed and determined. It was the time when the landing of the Turkish troops began on the beach of Kyrenia, "Five Mile" from sea and air. Turkey had named the invasion "Attilas"
That morning, Cypriot radio was playing pleasant Greek songs in a pleasant atmosphere. Nothing on the station foretold what was to come. At the same time, the illegal Bayrak radio station began broadcasting Turkish missions.
The sun had just started rising. You couldn't hear any gunshots, which meant there was no resistance. In fact, you couldn't hear anything, except the noise of the engines of the Turkish ferries, which transported troops from Turkey. It was only a matter of time until the Turkish planes came and bombed.
The Turkish invasion of Cyprus began with landing and air operations of around 38,000 men. With 38,000 soldiers, Attila invaded Cyprus. Turkey did not withdraw a single soldier from Cyprus, even though it called the invasion a peaceful ... operation
When night fell, the fighting at the Nicosia airport somewhat calmed down, when the Nicosia commandos regrouped and invaded the Turkish-controlled areas in waves and operated. Either by freeing the missing and trapped, or by hand-to-hand combat with the conquerors. They fought heroic battles, without loss.
Swarms of Turkish planes began the attacks, continuously against the wider area of Kyrenia and Nicosia, while other planes and helicopters attempted to drop paratroopers in other key points.
The inhabitants were at the mercy of the invaders. Unarmed civilians and children were murdered, captured soldiers were executed, thousands were left missing, houses were looted. They stole the belongings of the Cypriots saying they were .....spoils of war. They looted churches and monasteries and made 200,000 Cypriots refugees in their own homeland. 
The pain of the refugee took root in them with a dream and a hidden hope.

When spring comes
I want to become a bird
to spread my wings
to fly high in the sky

To travel far
from mountains and forests
to my deserted home
with the big mulberry tree, to search and find it.

And when I see my garden
the black chimney
the pots, the honeysuckle
and the basil,

then at once I will go down
and sit on the windowsill
and look, I will dream
sweetly behind the glass,

Of when we all sat
around the hearth
and played, and told
riddles and jokes
we laughed happily
without any concern.

The eyes will swell
and darkness will come
and the beautiful dream
will quickly disappear.

At once, like a migratory
bird, I will travel,
And I will take a sacred oath
to these holy lands
and to my sweet homeland
that I always miss,

Every time spring comes
and everything is reborn
I will come here
with the great desire
to bring to life the dream
that I so long for!!!
