Gabriel, if you can remember the nearest village to where you stopped at the church with the millstone, and the next huge place you had a look around, I or someone else maybe able to tell you their names and what they were, as well as a brief history.

The church is not destroyed by earthquake dear Gabriel....

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

You mean that it was damaged by the Turks? Are you sure about that? Only because if it was intentionally damaged by people I think it would look different. They could have destroyed it much more than it is with a sledgehammer in a few minutes. The damage looks fairly evenly displaced throughout the church, including up towards the ceiling where people couldn't reach. It looks more like it was caused by an earthquake to me, though I certainly could be wrong.

[@dizzeeblondee5309]

​@@GabrielTravelerVideosas I said in one of your previous videos, in 1974 during the invasion and thereafter over 500 churches, monasteries and chapels were destroyed and looted. This is a fact. I refer to the book by the Rev D Demosthenous, which lists quite comprehensively. Mostly Greek Orthodox, but Armenian, Maronite and any Christian place of worship. It's been almost 50 years and apart from a chosen few, many have been left to decay on purpose.

The south has a lot of what the western world has to offer, whereas the north is like stepping back in time and is still quaint and less developed, although that is quickly changing. The fact the north is embargoed restricts its development and that’s why it attracts individual foreign investment from other countries like Russia. A lot of people who have lived in the south, choose to move to the north, partly cos it’s less expensive, but also cos the pace of life is slower

Hi Gabriel! You yourself said that where you are is not a recognized UN country and that's why you don't put it on the list of countries you've visited as it is considered the "republic of Cyprus". Yet you place a fake Turkish flag next to the name Cyprus. Controversial attitude, challenging and unsuccessful way to attract views.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

[@tombuddy100]

​@@GabrielTravelerVideos I think the flag in the thumbnail was somewhat of an overdoing. It is basically a Turkish flag, which does not represent Cyprus or Cypriots, only Turks identify with it.

I gotta be honest here Gabe. These Northern Cyprus videos just have a weird, uneasy feeling about them considering the political situation

I live in the north and I feel completely safe here, why do you feel uneasy. The political situation is only evident in the south, not the north. Most people in the north just get on with their lives and don’t obsess about the island being divided. They have no control over what happens going forward, it’s up to the ROC government and the TRNC government to agree, otherwise this will be the status quo ad infinitum.
