Overview

Located in the Park of the Community is a Monument dedicated to hero Charalambos Casparis, who fell during the Turkish invasion. The Monument consists of a plaque which will be replaced by the hero’s bust in the future. The fate of the heroic son of the Community, Charalambos Kasparis, had been unknown since the tragic summer of 1974 until the day his remains were identified. In 2007 there was an exhumation of remains from a group grave in the area of the Turkish-Cypriot village of Tziaos and anthropological and DNA testing revealed the identity of the fallen. The remains of the hero were buried on April 17th 2011 in the Holy Church of Agia Varvara in Oikos in an emotive atmosphere of grief.
