– a big thank you to Mr Adonis Taliadoros, public relations officer for the government of the Rep. of Cyprus, who has supported my project-
yesterday i met with Mr Taliadoros and an army officer to photograph Lidra Street checkpoint and Lidra Palace checkpoint, the latter i was allowed only a couple of shots at Lidra Palace is th eheadquarter of the UN peacekeeping force and they do not allow photographs to be taken.
Lidra Palace was a luxury hotel back in 1974, today i sheadquarter of UN, with clothes hang to dry on the balconies and bullet hole sstill visible on the facade.
Accompanied by an army officer we have also walked along the green line and Mr Taliadoros gave me a good history lesson with anedocte on the green line and the history of Nicosia. For me it was interesting to hear another point of view on the cyprus situation.
