The ancient temple in the north of Cyprus was turned into a latrine

The historical monument of the Middle Ages, the Church of St. George, the Cyprus city of Famagusta, occupied by the Turks, began to be used as a latrine, the portal "Orthodoxy.by" reports with reference to the Greek agency "Romfa" , which spread the information of the newspaper "Havantis".

According to Havantis, in the fortress city there are many historical monuments that will soon turn into a pile of stones. In addition to the fact that the territory near the temples is completely overgrown with grass, so at night lovers of drinks who leave garbage come there at night.

In a similar state, the churches of St. Simeon, the Holy Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Agia Zoni) and St. Nicholas are in a similar state.

Famagusta is a port city on the southeastern coast of the island of Cyprus, on the territory of the state recognized only by Turkey, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRSK). Abkhazia also discovered its representative office, motivating the confession of the republic by the fact that the Abkhaz diaspora lives there. The territory of Northern Cyprus in 1974 was occupied by Turkish troops.

Recall that in the course of the recent visit of Patriarch Kirill to Cyprus, residents of the border territory of TRK turned to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church with a request to assist in resolving the Cyprus problem. The letter on their behalf was handed over to Patriarch Cyril the children of refugees. This happened in the church of St. George in the city of Paralymni, located in the immediate vicinity of the border from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
