🔊 Five unlawfully detained Greek Cypriots to appear before "court" again
It is expected that five Greek Cypriots, unlawfully held since July 17, will once again appear before the "court" in occupied Trikomo.

The charges relate to alleged illegal entry into the occupied territories and the collection of confidential data.

The lawyer for the accused challenges these charges, emphasizing the lack of evidence and the legal uncertainty of the situation.

🔊 Amathus: Vase Similar to the François Vase Discovered – New Significant Findings in the Ancient Palace
Recent excavations at the palace of Amathus have led to significant discoveries, including an impressive spiral crater, akin to the famous François Vase. A complete plan of the ceremonial hall, dating to the late 9th century BC, has also been documented, confirming the palace's status as the oldest known Iron Age palace in Cyprus.

During the research conducted from June 16 to July 4, 2025, under the guidance of Professors Thierry Petit and Jean-François Ge, two new excavation zones were uncovered, revealing unique architectural elements and the largest collection of Attic black-figure and red-figure pottery on the island. This collection spans from 570–550 BC to the mid-4th century BC.
