The newspapers in the pictures are called “new Cypriot outpost” and “Independent”
I must also mention the brave Turkish Cypriots who fought in the [battle of Crete](https://web.archive.org/web/20091028032013/http://www.tcca.org/current_projects/warheroes/mehmet.html). Who fought with the Greek Resistance against the german invaders during the initial stages of the Invasion Of Crete.
Why didnt you include the Turkish Cypriot volunteers as well, happy oxi day to all turkish cypriots
Interesting reading old newspapers.
And about the TC volunteers.
Thank you for the post.
When I moved to Cyprus and first time heard about ‘ohi day’, I thought it’s a genuine celebration of conception of ‘no’. Later I learned it’s WWII related.
The fact the Greeks held the Italians at bay for as long as they did was always impressive to me. If there was an army that was brutally under equipped and ill supported it was the Greek army. Lots of hand to hand combat because they just didn’t have the bullets far too often.
Fk yeah y’all should celebrate it. Fighting fascism is always laudable. Happy Oki day, I don’t mind all the drums 😅
