The commemorative event marking 30 years since the murders of Tasos Isaac and Solomou Solomou continues with a series of activities organized by the Initiative of Memory for Isaac and Solomou. On July 17, 2026, participants, including motorcyclists, runners, and swimmers, reached the seventh stop of their journey at Kastellorizo. This initiative aims to honor the legacy of the two victims, who were killed during protests in the UN-controlled buffer zone between the occupied and free areas of Cyprus.
As part of the observance, the group received a warm welcome from residents in the historic town of Leonidio on July 10. Fifty members of the initiative shared memories and camaraderie, fostering a sense of unity and remembrance. This event is part of a ten-day pilgrimage involving numerous Greek Cypriots traveling through Greece, with activities focusing on promoting awareness of the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Isaac and Solomou and their impact on Cypriot history.
Throughout their journey, the participants emphasize the importance of collective memory and solidarity among communities in Cyprus, illustrating a continuous commitment to recalling the events that have shaped their national identity.
