    Memorials and gatherings mark invasion anniversary

    Nicosia, Jul 20 (CNA) With less than 12 months before Cyprus formal accession to the european family, Cypriots marked here Sunday the 29th anniversary of the 1974 Turkish invasion and occupation of the islands northern third.

    Air-raid sirens wailed across the island at dawn remembering the morning when Turkish troops landed first, at the now occupied town of Kyrenia, while flags flew half-mast in the free areas of the Republic. Thousands of Greek Cypriots flocked to the churches where memorial services were held for those who fell and prayers were offered for the people still missing.

    The main ceremonies were held in Nicosia at the Church of Faneromeni, in the presence of President Tassos Papadopoulos and the islands political and church leadership.
