Photo album “By the hand of Attila” by Cyprus News Agency’s photographer Katia Christodoulou, has been posted on CyBC’s platform ”Digital Herodotus”. The photo album records scenes from the Green Line, the buffer zone which stretches for 180 kilometres along the island of Cyprus.
The dividing line is also referred to as the Attila Line, named after Turkey’s 1974 military invasion codenamed Operation Attila.
A CyBC press release said that the material is offered with full documentation and is available to website users for research and study purposes.
“By the hands of Attila”, was distributed to CyBC last December and includes 57 photographs by Katia Christodoulou of the Green Line.
The photographic archive was first presented in an exhibition at the House of Cyprus in Athens in 1997 and then in 2001 in Cyprus.
The posting of the material on ”Digital Herodotus” is part of CyBC’s activities in the framework of the 50th anniversary of the illegal Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
Cyprus has been divided sinc
e 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.
