Cyprus on Thursday marks the 66th anniversary of the Eoka struggle for independence from British colonial rule which was launched on April 1, 1955.
President Nicos Anastasiades will attend a church service in Nicosia in the morning at the Ayios Ioannis cathedral at the Archbishopric.
He will then attend a memorial service at the Graves of the Imprisoned and lay a wreath to honour the Eoka fighters buried there.
Traditional annual parades by students and veterans to mark the anniversary will not take place due to the covid pandemic.
