Famagusta

It's unfortunate to see some trying to overshadow the historical reality of the events in Cyprus by storming reviews with dismissive comments. The 1974 Turkish invasion, a period of immense loss and suffering, continues to be a sensitive topic for many. It's sad how easily some attempt to downplay or distort this painful history.

Famagusta delicately explores the personal tragedies born from that period, focusing on a young couple whose lives are torn apart on the day of the invasion. The heartbreaking loss of their three-month-old baby during the chaos is just the beginning of their 50-year struggle to reunite with their child.

What sets this series apart is its ability to weave the raw emotions of displacement, fear, and the aftermath of war with historical context. It offers a profound narrative that doesn't just focus on the loss of land and identity, but also the deeper, more personal tragedies that followed the invasion.

For anyone looking to understand the human impact of these events, Famagusta offers an emotional, character-driven exploration. The series is a reminder of the stories that get lost in history books but linger painfully in the memories of those who lived through them.

The truth events on what happened to Cyprus in 1974 with the illegal and violent turkish invasion.

History canl not change and if u visit Cyprus you will see that whole Cyprus was and is greek.

With the illegal invasion half a century ago, and the misleading turkish tourist agents or those agents who are funded and promoted to miseducate tourists and visitors.

Unfortunately many of the visitors dont care about history at all but at least some programs must show the truth out of it and never stop fighting against the wrong and misleading works of the turkish propaganda. So watch to get an idea, even without the vandalism of the churches.

Great series based on true events and how the island was divided by an invasion and the aftermath that still haunt the people that are waiting for redemption and reunification free from foreign policies and live peacefully according to UN resolutions at their homeland and securing a safe and prosperous future for their children. This real life drama will touch all hearts and make you cry as it depicts war, family ties, injustice, redemption, love, honour, faith, pride, strength, memories and more. Great performance from all actors revealing deep rooted drama based on true events and characters.

For all the Turks that are saying that it's biased etc, they have not watched it since it is banned in their country and Ertogan is doing propaganda. It is a very nice series that shows FACTS and how the Turkish INVASION took place in Cyprus. Cyprus is still occupied after 50 years and this shows how they are still aggressive and believe that they were correct by invading an island. Famagusta shows facts on how the invasion happened and the cruelty of the Turkish soldiers during the invasion. It shows the assaults that took place, the killings, the properties that were damaged and how they still occupy our island.

Famagusta is a powerful depiction of the events that occurred that resulted in the illegal occupation of Cyprus. It's a chilling reminder of how history repeats itself, and it brings up a conflict that is not explored in mainstream media.

The depiction of events and the superb acting draws you in, and even if you have no knowledge of what happened, you can relate to the characters as if it had affected you personally. Every family in Cyprus has similar tragic stories to tell that have affected them personally or have affected those close to them.

Series like Famagusta should be aired all over the world, and just the fact that this show has been banned in Turkey is reason enough to watch it.
