Our top story: Anorthosis of Cyprus triumph in grudge Turkey game. This was an unprecedented football (i.e., North American soccer) match pitting a Greek Cypriot team exiled from the occupied "ghost city" of Famagusta against a Turkish team from the ancient city of Trabzon. Ironically, prior to the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, even the latter was once occupied by Pontic Greeks, who called it Τραπεζούντα (Trapezounda). This city was the seat of the last independent Byzantine outpost to be conquered by the Turks in 1461, eight years after the conquest of Constantinople.
