today I have visited the exhibition “Twice a Stranger” at Leventis Museum, in Old Town Nicosia.
The museum itself, which presents Nicosia through the centuries, is really well designed and interesting.
The exhibition subject is “forced displacement and population exchange in the 20th century” and it is very interesting and very well curated, with video interviews (some unfortunately without subtitles) and archive photographs. It documents the forced population exchanges between Greece-Turkey, Germany-Poland, India-Pakistan as well as the 2 sides of Cyprus.
The exhibition is great and well worth a visit.
 However it does not include -I was disappointed!- the population exchanges between Armenian and Azerbaijan…they should dedicate a chapter to the village of Chambarak, Armenia, where most inhabitants were born in Azerbaijan and then forced to leave! I am sure between Armenian and Azerbaijan there are many of such cases…the exhibition focused on people who have traced their roots…but what about those who know their roots? those who have vivid in their memory the forced migration? those who are not at peace with having being kicked out??
