Since the Turkish invasion in 1974 and the occupation of the Famagusta Town, the FCCI is temporalily operating in Limassol.
At the start of the Iron Age the town, now built close to the sea, was known by the name of Salamis and its kings traced their ancestry to the Trojan hero Teucer, brother of Ajax and son of the king of Salamis, an island off the coast of Athens.
However "Famagusta" has since survived as the official name of the whole town, both old and new, whilst Varosha is used to describe the part of the town which was inhabited solely by Greeks.

The cultural inheritance and the labour of thousands of years were destroyed with brute force by a neighbouring country which wishes to be considered as civilised, or have been stolen and sold as precious artefacts around the world.

The districts in which they chiefly reside are Ba'albek, where their chiefs are the noted family of Harfush; Belad Besharah, on the southern part of the Lebanon range; and a district on the west bank of the Orontes, around the village of Hurmul.
These towns lay in the most diverse districts of this wide country, on the seaboard, in the valley of the Orantes, in the Euphrates Valley, between the Orontes and the Euphrates, and in the north.
From the letters of Chysostum and the state of matters which still obtained in the second half of the sixth century, however, it is quite clear that Christianity got a firm footing only on the seaboard, while the inland districts of Phœnicia remained pagan for the most part.
