Did you know that in 1821, the famous admiral Kanaris, brought over from Cyprus the “Column of Cypriots” («Φάλαγγα των Κυπρίων»), led by General Chatzipetros, which fought with extraordinary heroism in Greece. In total, over 1000 Cypriots fought in the War of Independence, nearly more than any other island!
Χρόνια Πολλά σε όλους και όλες!
Greek Revolution didn’t spread to Cyprus though, but Romioi Cypriots supported it (including volunteering for them) minus the church institutions as they were pro-Ottoman.
Χρόνια πολλά!!
