His experience from the occupation of the city of Famagusta during the second phase of the Turkish invasion of 1974 was described today by Metropolitan Vassilios.
The Metropolitan of Constantia-Famagusta described after the end of the trisagion at the Cultural Center of Famagusta in Deryneia what he saw in August 1974.
As he said, on August 15, 1974, he left the monastery of the Apostle Barnabas and a soldier transported him from Engomi to Famagusta. As he said, his memory of seeing the city of Famagusta, which he remembered being full of life before being ruined that day, is still very strong inside him and he wished God to help him return to the city of Famagusta.
