"The little treasure house of Antifonitis Monastery,… has sustained the most comprehensive looting and damage..."... "We managed to check 26 villages in all…. Since graveyards are usually some way outside the village these were checkable and, in every instance, we found deliberate and usually comprehensive damage. In no village we visited was the graveyard intact"….The Times" 27th May 1976 ..."If there is some joy on the Cyprus side for being able to recover this piece, of which only three exist worldwide (the other two are in London and east Berlin) there is also some bitterness on account of the paradox which obliges the Nicosia Government, although preoccupied will all sorts of problems, to buy again, ..the antiquities that are illegally exported from the northern part of the island especially
rich in archaeological sites".""Le Monde" 27th December 1978 …"Unknown persons broke into the Historic St. Barnabas Monastery last night, stealing invaluable icons and crosses found there,
numbering about twenty…"
"News from the North" "official" Turkish Cypriot Bulletin 22nd May 1980 ..." All the Crosses in the British Cemetery in the port city of Famagusta have been smashed and in the resort of Kyrenia tombs have been opened"…. Paul Routlege, Cyprus "The Observer" 29th March 1987
