Ημέρα Ανεξαρτησίας της Κύπρου
Cyprus Independence Day, observed on October 1st every year, commemorates the island’s liberation from British rule on 16 August, 1960. The Zurich and London Agreements, signed by Britain, Greece and Turkey, led to the Republic of Cyprus’s establishment as a sovereign state. It marks the beginning of self‑government and the end of colonial administration (1878-1960). The holiday is a national public holiday featuring flag‑raising ceremonies, military parade, speeches, and cultural events.
