Northern Nicosia, Cyprus. Since the Turkish invasion in 1974 the city is split in halves. Part of the northern Turkish side.


To the right you can see the large Selimiye mosque. In the background, on the Kyrenia mountains, the Turkish flag and the flag of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are painted together with the text: Ne mutlu Türküm diyene, which translates to somthing like: How happy to be called a Turk.
