Action Cyprus

Action Cyprus: "Over nine thousand years ago the first farmers came to Cyprus and from there moved on to Crete and mainland Greece. They were followed by further Mycenaen, Achean, Ionian and Macedonian colonisation resulting in the consolidation of a Hellenic cultural, linguistic and religious identity of the Cypriots who survived numerous invasions by the Phoenicians, Persians, Egyptians, Romans, Crusaders, and Venetians. But none were as brutal as the Ottoman Turks who resorted to kidnapping children from their families and brainwashing them into becoming fanatical Muslim fighters, 'Janissaries' by forcing them to read nothing but the Koran and accept Mohammed as their father."
