Greek and Turkish Cypriots are honoured for protecting civilians of the other community (2/11)



1.A message by Harrie Ratip (Cengiz Ratip wife), written by Sevgul Uludag.
2. Stavros Poyrazis (2nd honoured person)
Stavros Poyrazis - He was the muhtar of Strongylos (Turunchlu) and he saved the lives of Turkish Cypriots from his village back in 1963 and then twice in 1974 when some Greek Cypriot from other villages came to Strongylos (Turunchlu) in order to kill some Turkish Cypriots. Stavros Poyrazis stopped them and said, `Go back to your villages! You can’t touch the Turkish Cypriots of Strongylos!` Stavros Poyrazis is “missing” since 1974 together with four persons from his family, three from his village and eight from other villages.
