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:
“The places which I have described may seem strange and remote to my townsmen ... our account may have made no impression on your minds. But what is our account? In it there is no roar, no beach-birds, no tow-cloth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You who were directionless, and thought it would solve everything if you found one,
What do you make of this? Just because a thing is immortal
Is that any reason to worship it? Death, after all, is immortal.
But you have gone into your houses and shut the doors, meaning
There can be no further discussion.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
