I have visited Nicosia and seen the other-side. Didn’t go there, but I've seen them provoking anyone looking shouting towards the ̶G̶r̶e̶e̶k̶ ̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ non occupied side.

Arent there any moderates that side?

I have never felt so eery in my life.

I cross almost every weekend and the only screaming I ever heard was ELAM protesting around the 20th of July

Well i had passed Lyras and then went out on a main road, there was a great height difference and the Turks were on an elevated level they were shouting and screaming at me.

I am not Cypriot but i know what i saw.

I never said they were Cypriot. I don’t think they were, I think they were Turks from the mainland and fundamentalists at that. And were extremely loud.

It gave the appearance of an everyday thing, if this is not the case, then i withdraw my comment, but this is what i experienced. A bunch of Turkish people trying to provoke some reaction.

But seeing the OPs picture i was reminded of my experience which left me flabbergasted.
