This is the location where one Greek Nord Noratlas was shot down by friendly fire on 22 July 1974, during Operation "Niki". "Niki" was a military operation of the Greek Armed Forces to airlift a battalion of Greek commandos to Cyprus in order to reinforce the Cypriot National Guard against Turkish invasion forces.[1]
This tomb is the resting place of Greek Cypriot and some Greek officers and soldiers who were killed during the Turkish invasion.
