Famagusta Walled City

During World War II, the countries that were under control of the UK were experiencing famine, including the Walled City of Famagusta.

Famagusta residents, trapped within the City Walls, started eating crows to survive. From that day on, Famagusta residents came to be known as `Garga` (means `crow` in the Turkish Cypriot pronunciation). They take pride in their nickname.
