The looting of Cyprus' religious and cultural heritage is one of the most tragic open wounds of the Turkish invasion and ongoing occupation, the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, said on Monday. He was speaking at the Cyprus Museum, where the official handover ceremony took place for repatriated archaeological and ecclesiastical objects from Munich. The objects had been stolen and illegally exported from Turkish-occupied Cyprus by the antiquities thief Aydin Dikmen and were held by the German authorities.
