Jurisdiction

[edit]

Administrative jurisdiction of this site This article is not a soap-box. Please read the wiki guidelines. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTSOAPBOX#SOAPBOX.

The geo-political description given here and elsewhere seems to have been accepted after considerable edits and discussion by interested contributors. This is as follows: As a result of Cyprus dispute and the invasion of the Turkish army in 1974, the site presently falls within the de-facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

As the circle of interest increases, and the number of historic sites and monuments added, it will be a reasonable achievement if we can agree to this as an objective and fair description of events and facts.

No problem by me. I merely changed it because the "Cyprus dispute" by itself goes way back before the division of the island. The actual division came about through the Turkish invasion in 1974, if that hadn't happened, there'd probably be still a "Cyprus dispute", but no "Northern Cyprus" ;) Constantine 10:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture

[edit]

There seems to be a need for a more detailed account, especially the unwarranted and very extensive restorations that are documented by Papacostas, Inventory of Byzantine Churches on Cyprus, London 2015, ISBN 978-1-897747-31-5, available at http://ibcc.dighum.kcl.ac.uk/ That resource is not illustrated, valuable as it is. We therefore need members to dig out early photographs they might have to hand. That would be a great help in understanding what has happened at this site in the 20th century.--Shirazibustan (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
