Made in Cyprus

We’re ready! (graffiti written in the Turkish Cypriot dialect)

Dear friends,

If you thought that social media was lacking in content on the Cyprus issue/reunification and promoting a true Cyprus identity, you are very much mistaken. It is absolutely brimming with both educational and laugh-out-loud Cyprus-made content on topics from the Cypriot dialects (both Greek and Turkish), to concise and original ways to inform on the Cyprus issue.

Here are some of my favourites from Instagram (click on the name of the profile to go straight to it):
