    #012. Ten Brick Wall (Bonus)

    🎙️ Episode 12 (Bonus) — Massacres of August 1974 ⚠️ Listener discretion advised. This bonus episode takes a deeper, unflinching look at the atrocities of August 1974. The massacres in Maratha, Santalaris, Aloda, Tochni, Zyggi, Murataga, Sandallar, and Atilar. Executions by Turkish forces in villages like Eptakomi, Prastio, Asha and Sinta. The use of rape as a weapon of war, long silenced but now acknowledged by international courts and survivors on both sides. The staggering human cost: refugees, missing persons, destroyed communities, and the grief that still divides Cyprus today. This is a sombre episode — but one that must be told. 👉 Support Cyprus Untold: 📽️ Watch Divided Island documentary via cyprusuntold.com/divided 🎧 Try Amazon Prime free for 30 days at cyprusuntold.com/prime 📚 Explore my recommended reading at cyprusuntold.com/educate

    #012. Ten Brick Wall

    🎙️ Episode 12 — Ten Brick Wall In this episode, we return to the Green Line in central Nicosia and uncover the quirky but telling story of the “Ten Brick Wall” — a small UN peacekeeping dispute that became a powerful metaphor for Cyprus’ divided history. From there, we trace the events of 21 July to 16 August 1974: the ceasefires that failed, the Geneva talks that collapsed, and the full-scale Turkish offensive that reshaped the island. Families fled, refugees filled the roads, and the UN buffer zone as we know it today was born. 👉 Support Cyprus Untold: 📽️ Watch Divided Island documentary via cyprusuntold.com/divided 🎧 Try Amazon Prime free for 30 days at cyprusuntold.com/prime 📚 Explore my reading list at cyprusuntold.com/educate
