A family who fled Cyprus after the second Turkish invasion in August 1974 have shared how they rebuilt their lives after arriving as refugees in London.<\/p>\n
Baz Bedrossian was nine years old when he and his family had to flee their home, leaving all their belongings behind at their home in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus.<\/p>\n
He remembers how he had to adapt to new surroundings and learn a language he barely knew.<\/p>\n
Cyprus has been divided since Turkey invaded the north of the island in response to a military coup backed by the Greek government.<\/p>\n
Despite efforts by the United Nations and the European Union over the past 50 years, no resolution has been reached, making it the longest unresolved conflict in Europe.<\/p>\n
It has also meant generations have grown up knowing only the division of the island.<\/p>\n
