 This is the house of Dr. Nihat
Ilhan, a major who was serving in the Cyprus Turkish Contingent in 1963.
During the inter-communal
troubles of December that year, the house was attacked by the Greek-Cypriot
terrorists.
Dr. Ilhan's wife and three
children were ruthlessly murdered in the bathroom where they had tried to
hide.
The house, in the Kumsal
district of Nicosia has been preserved as a museum.
