Kyriakos, having finished the village's elementary
school, continued his high-school studies in Pafos as a boarder
in the Hole See of Pafos.
He was one of the best students in
the schools he attended.
In the 1st of July, 1973, the thread of his life was interrupted
-unfortunately -by a Greek hand.
It was the period when hatred
had blinded the Cypriots.
The pain and suffering of the Papalazarou family was not meant
to cease there.
Soteres, Kyriakos's elder brother, was staying
in Limassol in order to finish high school. After completing
his military service, he went to Russia to study medicine.
In
the black summer of 1974 he was in Cyprus for holidays. During
the Turkish invasion Soteres rushed to respond to his country's
calling. He died fighting in the battle of Episkopi on the 20th
of July, 1974.
The two brothers rest in the village's old cemetery. The monument
dedicated to them stands in the yard of Agios Panteleimonas's
church.
