One thing which struck us as we toured around Turkish-controlled Cyprus was the amount of statuary celebrating all things Turk - this one in particular caught my eye, a strange design which I thought at first was an eye with smaller eyes where the pupil should be. And what is that dislocated head doing at the end of the narrow end?

To say that it was disconcerting would be putting it mildly - I find Brutalist architecture like this completely at odds with almost everything; I think this is some sort of memorial to Turks who died in the 1974 invasion of Cyprus, but I can't tell. But whatever it is, the lack of emotion or of anything human about it is quite sinister and scary
