2024, Cyprus, 16'

On the 20th of July 1974, the Turkish army invaded the island of Cyprus and one third of it has been under military occupation ever since. To this day the trauma of 1974 and the subsequent ongoing occupation defines Cypriot society and shapes its political and social landscape.

20. julija 1974 je turška vojska vdrla na otok Ciper in od takrat dalje je tretjina otoka pod vojaško okupacijo. Travma iz leta 1974 in kasnejša okupacija še danes zaznamujeta ciprsko družbo ter oblikujeta njeno politično in družbeno pokrajino.
