An incredible scene in the occupied territories is provoking outraged comments on the internet, as the church of Saint John the Naite in Famagusta appears to have been converted into a café-bar. Specifically, a TikTok video that is going viral online shows the church courtyard filled with tables and chairs, while an employee carries cushions.
The video has sparked reactions over this conversion of a place of worship for commercial purposes. “Shock and awe – they have converted a church in occupied Famagusta into a café bar”, reads the video caption.
