Pelathousa to Karaagac
"No one was displaced either during the tensions of the late 1950s or during the intercommunal strife of 1963-64. However, the village was an important Turkish Cypriot enclave from 1963 to 1975 and, as a result, became a reception center for Turkish Cypriots who fled Agios Isidoros(286), Prodromi/Karşıyaka(334) and Polis(332). It was one of the five Paphos villages that refused to surrender to Greek Cypriot forces in 1974. On 27 August 1975, the residents of Pelathousa were evacuated under UNFICYP escort and transferred to the island’s north, taking their guns with them. Many of them were resettled in Charkeia(216), a village in the Kyrenia district. It is important to note that the name of Charkeia(216) was change to Karaağaç in 1976. The total number of Pelathousa Turkish Cypriots who were displaced after 1974 was approximately 450 (450 in 1973 census)."
