Solomos Spirou Solomou entered the history books on Wednesday, August 14, 1996 when he climbed on the flagpole, to lower the illegally raised Turkish flag in Derynia, Cyprus. He was shot immediately by Turkish troops. According to the Associated Press: "Turkish troops on Wednesday killed a Greek Cypriot demonstrator and wounded 11 other people in the second fatal clash this week in the buffer zone of this war-divided island nation."
