Ich sehe diese Art von Symbol, die über die Wände in Zypern besprüht ist, und ich kenne es als keltisches Kreuz, aber das kann nicht richtig sein, da es nichts mit zypriotischer Kultur zu tun hat. Es ist immer sorayed Aling -Seite das griechische Hakenkreuz oder ein normales Hakenkreuz? Soll es ein christliches Symbol sein?

Simple. Because we have neonazis
Pretty sure it’s called a Celtic Cross, nowadays used as an aryan symbol
It’s a common nazi symbol now, white racist’s mainly. But in Cyprus it can be interpreted as “f*ck immigrants” or whatever
Nah just racists being idiots globally.
You’d think Cypriot racists would use Greek symbols instead of the *celtic* cross but they are not smart people.
Its called the Celtic cross and it’s used by a lot of Far-Right individuals, its essentially an anti-immigration and pro-white symbol. There are a lot in Cyprus because cyprus has a lot of supporters of the far right,
It’s a symbol that football fanatics/ultras often use. Unfortunately in this country football has political ties to it. Clubs like APOEL and Anorthosis have ultras who are far right (the symbol you attached is often accompanied by AU79 which stands for Apoel Ultras and 79 because they were founded in 1979). Clubs like Omonoia, Nea Salamina or any other (with few exceptions like ALS Omonoia) team that was founded in 1948 is considered a left leaning club with its ultras being Far-Left. If you want to learn more about this I’m pretty sure that a [user on this sub made surprisingly good and unbiased thread about this whole thing.](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyprus/s/C7UhkGh2Nb)
I believe it’s the act of british people who fled Great Britain because it wasn’t white enough anymore. Cypriots wouldn’t do that honestly.
Used by football hooligans. The vast majority of them have never opened a book so they don’t have a clue what it means. They use the swastika too.
Pretty sure it originated form the Far right Cypriot University group that used to operate in group called ’stochos‘. Not sure if now those that tag it do so because of stochos or due to celtic cross connotations. Still, it’s something unpleasant.
Because of stupid people
They either use those symbols for their football opponents and are blissfully ignorant to the dark history behind them, or they are genuinely believe in the things behind these symbols.
Many ultras groups of cyprus football/sports teams use it since they are mostly right wing based.
this black and white ‚celtic‘ cross (it meaning is far from what the actual celtic cross represents) is a symbol used by ultra-right wing/nazis/white superimists.
It’s mostly used by ignorant teenagers and stupid football hooligans.
Ironic because Cypriots although are European in culture, history and religion… DNA wise we are not what ultra-right wing would consider as ‚white aryan‘ (like germans, english, swedish e.g e.g).
Basicly it’s an ultra-right wing symbol for people to use to pretend they have something to be proud off.
Because Nazis are on the rise everywhere.
Unfortunately our country is full of uneducated trash that spray this thinking they can be racist to non-whites without realising they themselves probably aren’t white either.
Its usually from Apoel Hooligas called AU79, mostly uneducated nicotine and caffeine fueled, modified mopeds ignorants spraying that all over the walls of every city.
You can find it accompanied by a symbol from a far fight German party, a far right Greek party. If you near their fan club headquarters its full of those symbols.
