Asomatos was the second largest Maronite village after Kormakitis. Before the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, its inhabitants numbered 527, whereas, today[when?]none.[3]
The village is used as a military camp by the Turkish army. The Maronites may visit the village only on Sundays, with limited time restrictions, for mass in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel.[3]
