Abstract (en)

Describes systematic looting and destruction of the Greek Cypriot cultural heritage since 1974. Works of art and architecture (those discussed here date 6th-15th cs.) are supposedly under the protection of occupying Turkish forces. Remarks based on author's observations during a visit in the autumn of 1989.
