EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph captured by Peter Stone, we are transported back to the tumultuous events of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. The image depicts a chilling scene unfolding in the basement area of the Ledra Palace Hotel, which had become an unexpected battleground during the conflict. As guests huddle together in fear and uncertainty, their faces etched with anxiety, it is evident that danger lurks just beyond those walls. Greek Cypriot soldiers have taken control of the hotel, effectively trapping residents and journalists within its confines. What was once a place for relaxation and holidaymaking has now transformed into a sanctuary from impending chaos. The composition of this print emphasizes both vulnerability and resilience. Holidaymakers find themselves caught up in an invasion they never anticipated while seeking refuge underground. Their presence serves as a stark reminder that conflicts can disrupt even the most idyllic settings. Stone's poignant capture transports us to that fateful day on July 22nd, 1974 when Cyprus became embroiled in war. It prompts reflection on how ordinary people are often thrust into extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. This image stands as a testament to human strength amidst adversity and serves as a somber reminder of the lasting impact conflicts leave behind on individuals and communities alike.
