Most of the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots who used to live in mixed villages or towns have not been able to meet since 1974 and in many cases since 1963. Despite the violence and the pain there is a treasure of good experiences that these people shared together. This treasure has been 'buried' for many years in the hearts of all these people and the desire to see their old friends is still strong. A joined effort by Greek and Turkish Cypriots is currently being undertaken to arrange reunion meetings of such people from many villages and towns. This section includes images and short videos from all major such meetings. - Peace Festivals:
