Students and organised groups are gathering on Friday to protest the unilateral declaration of the north of Cyprus as a separate republic.
The unilateral declaration of independence was made on November 15, 1983.
Events and parades are being held at crossing points, UN outposts and city centres by student associations Psem and Efen, as well as schoolchildren in villages.
Akel will be hosting an event at 7pm at the Orpheas
