What is this, them just testing the siren, a false alarm, or something else? (Can't help but notice that you're filming it rather than seeking cover, so...)

Yeah, I planned to film it because I knew it was coming. Context in case anybody else is curious (I saw you saw it already):https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1150641653910253568 …

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestReplying to @djnavarroIt's maddening. People need to remember what Nazi sympathisers have done to us but sadly I'm not convinced they know the details enough for this to be a good reminder. https://cyprus-mail.com/2019/07/14/the-inexplicable-pardons-that-led-to-events-of-74/ …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I read that but it didn't make much sense to me as someone with no prior knowledge of the subject - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Cypriot_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat?wprov=sfla1 … The Wikipedia article explained it better for me.

Ah, OK, fair enough. I get worried with Wikipedia because it's incredibly biased — much more than baseline — on issues in the Middle East. But skimming it... it looks mostly OK.

Probably difficult to find anything completely impartial on this subject.

I see the Wikipedia (just a skim) doesn't say "ethically cleansed". Important phrase.

I mean, you could edit it and put in a reference to ethnic cleansing, but I bet it would get removed immediately.

I have no interest in reading it let alone editing it. I am a principled woman. LMAO
