CHRISTIAN

MONUMENTS
OF CYPRUS
Under Turkish Military Occupation
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they
found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
was Bar-jesus: which was with the deputy of the country,
Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and
Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the
sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them,
seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul
(who is also called Paul), lled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes
on him, And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou
child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not
cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold,
the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not
seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him
a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to
lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was
done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

The Committee of Cyprus Occupied Municipalities, in its eort to
demonstrate the destruction of the cultural heritage of Cyprus
by Turkey, and especially the systematic desecration and looting
of our religious monuments, has taken the initiative to produce
the present map which seemed as a necessity in the light of the
Cyprus presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Of the nine Cyprus occupied municipalities and 200 communi-
ties, access is allowed to only 177 of them. For the remaining
23, we barely know anything about and, thus, we assume that
the destruction of our religious monuments is graver than what
was initially estimated. According to credible local and interna-
tional reports, 559 Christian churches, chapels and monasteries
have been looted, demolished, destroyed or vandalized. For ex-
ample, more than 100 churches, chapels and monasteries have
been desecrated; thousands of icons have been vanished; many
churches have been converted into mosques, others are used by
the Turkish army as hospitals or military camps (one of them
is used as a morgue), some churches have been converted into
stables and more than thirty Christian monuments have been
demolished. Moreover, 48 new mosques have been built in the
occupied areas since 1974.
Turkey undoubtedly bears the sole responsibility for the destruc-
tion of our cultural heritage and the desecration of our religious
monuments in the northern part of Cyprus. This is taking place
at a time when Turkey, as a candidate country, negotiates its ac-
cession to the European Union, representing a continent which
stands for civilization, culture and respect for human rights and
cultural and religious diversity.
For purely technical reasons, the map of the occupied part of
Cyprus is divided into seven sections. Each of these sections is
accompanied by an index that enlists the religious monuments
that appear on the respective map and describes the situation
they are in today. The map can be found in its entirety at the end
of the album. Despite the ambitious eort to enlist all churches,
chapels, monasteries and religious, we understand that omis-
sions might have occurred due to the fact that some areas have
been proclaimed by the occupying authorities as military areas
and access is prohibited.
This particular publication marks the beginning of an eort to por-
tray the present condition of our religious monuments in the oc-
cupied part of Cyprus. We hope that this will serve as an incentive
to all the elected Councils of the occupied communities to provide
further information and contribute to its completion in the eort
to give a more detailed account on the present state and condi-
tion of our religious monuments and archaeological sites.
We also hope that the presentation of this sad situation as ap-
pears on the map will increase awareness, sensitivity and con-
cern about the overall behavior of Turkey against this part of
Europe and the European culture that is being destroyed before
our eyes.
This particular publication marks the beginning of an effort to portray the present
condition of our religious monuments in the occupied part of Cyprus.
