Places of Worship
Cyprus has five Armenian churches, two in the capital Nicosia (one under Turkish occupation since 1974) and from one in Limassol, Larnaca and Famagusta; the latter has been occupied by the Turks since 1974. There are also three Armenian chapels in the vicinity of Nicosia and one within the Magaravank complex, also under Turkish occupation since 1974.

Famous quotes containing the words places and/or worship:
“Look,
when it is over he places her,
like a phone, back on the hook.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The timidity of the child or the savage is entirely reasonable; they are alarmed at this world, because this world is a very alarming place. They dislike being alone because it is verily and indeed an awful idea to be alone. Barbarians fear the unknown for the same reason that Agnostics worship it—because it is a fact.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
