I denne episode taler jeg videre med Elina og i denne uge kommer vi omkring den uhyggelige spøgelsesby Varosha på Cyperns nordkyst. Engang var det et blomstrende feriemål, men i 1974 blev Varosha forladt, da den tyrkiske militærstyrke invaderede øen efter et kupforsøg på at forene Cypern med Grækenland. Elina, en stolt cypriot, deler sin personlige historie om at flygte fra Varosha med sin familie, da hun kun var fire år gammel og de kun havde fem minutter til at pakke deres ejendele.   Vi hører om de dramatiske begivenheder i 1974, der førte til Varoshas ødelæggelse og delingen af Cypern. Elina husker tydeligt da naboen bankede på døren og sagde, at de havde fem minutter til at pakke. Det var en hjerteskærende beslutning, som hendes familie måtte træffe om at efterlade alt bag sig.   Varoshas nuværende tilstand, afspærret i over 40 år, er et rystende vidnesbyrd om øens igangværende konflikt. Vi hører om bestræbelserne på at åbne dele af Varosha for offentligheden, hvilket har vakt international debat og kritik.   Desuden kommer vi omkring filmen "Smuggling Hendrix", som er en komisk fortolkning af absurditeterne i Cyperns deling. Elina deler desuden rørende historier om hendes fars bestræbelser på at hjælpe sin gamle landsby og fremme sammenhold mellem græsk-cyprioter og tyrkisk-cyprioter. Episoden berører også de udfordringer, migranter, der søger tilflugt på Cypern, står over for, og belyser dermed øens igangværende humanitære udfordringer.   LINKS: See the trailer for "Smuggling Hendrix" here: https://youtu.be/9ACqXDktph0?si=kAU-0Lr-HOG9tIPw  Instagram: @walk_talk_cyprus  Facebook: Walk Talk Cyprus  WhatsApp: +35799444531
