Erhurman warns against being ‘trapped by history’ in response to Eoka anniversary

Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman on Thursday warned against people becoming “trapped by history” as he responded to statements made by President Nikos Christodoulides the previous day on the anniversary of the creation of Eoka.

“Knowing history is very important. Having historical awareness and learning from past events is equally important. But that is one thing, and being trapped by history and thinking, suggesting, and predicting that children and future generations should also be trapped there is quite another,” he said.
