On the anniversary of a pivotal day in Cyprus' history, the island nation is divided in its reflections. The Greek Cypriot controlled south mourns the day Turkish troops invaded following a coup by pro-Greece supporters, while Turkish Cypriots in the north celebrate what they view as liberation from Greek dominance.
The establishment of the breakaway state in the north, recognized only by Turkey, is being commemorated with grand events, including a military parade and airshow. Turkey's President will oversee these 'golden jubilee' celebrations.
