“Cyprus the Price of Freedom: An Individual Encircled by Violence Becomes a Voice for Reconciliation and Peace” is a book set in Cyprus that left many scars and a bitter legacy to Cypriots. It is a book full of anecdotes, memories, and events, and, most importantly, reflections on those events. In his life journey, Dafnis evolved from patriot/terrorist to internationalist/humanist.
In his life journey, Dafnis evolved from a patriot or terrorist to an internationalist or humanist. His faith developed from the confines of Orthodox Cyprus to the positive values of Christianity. His patriotism shifted from a narrow, fanatical Greekness to an appreciation of Hellenic culture’s universality. The important message from the book is Dafnis’ life and experience “Between Violence and Peace,” revealing how, amidst the violence and distrust between the Cyprus Greek and Turkish communities, it is possible to achieve peaceful coexistence and cooperation as Cypriots while maintaining their distinct identities. These are lessons applicable to the turbulent Eastern Mediterranean, Greece-Turkey relations, and beyond.
