As a human I detest the people that committed these atrocities and believe me GC and TC also died in their effort to confront and stop the killings from both sides.
What I cannot understand though is the continuous recycling of these information on this forum. Since two months ago that I joined the forum we have discussed these issues countless times and IMO GCs accepted that these happened. There have been some reservations some times about the way that the events unforlded, however, I have not seen anyone questioning the events in Tohni, Ktima or Ayios Vassilios which were the most severe ones.
The issue now is where we go from here, should we continue to post about these past attrocities or should we move on. Personally I am getting really bored with reiterating the same issues and the "policy" of some TCs in this forum to show how they suffered in the hands of GC "devils". I haven't seen any GC so far posting pictures of the killings during the invation or posting long lists of GC people that were killed by TC extremists prior to 1974 and I do not think that such an activity would contribute anything towards the discussion about the CyProb.
So please the next time before anyone posts something on this forum about past events and attrocities, think whether what you will be posting is something new that has not be posted before.
You have not been here long enough. When I joined this forum it was a place that only contained GCs and they reveled in bashing the Turks. You would have been shocked at what they were saying so we have made some progress in that anyway.
Then you must , Zan , remember the battles I and many others had with the likes of Malaka (G/C ) Alexander (G/C ) that obnoxious woman (G/C ) AND NOT FORGETTING THE WORST OF THEM ALL SCOTZESA G/C .
Doesn't the fact that so many of us ridiculed and lambasted the views of such fanatics make you understand that there are amongst us sensible and responsible Cypriots .

I have never accused you of anything other than trying to sell me a system that does not work for the TCs. I have said nothing against your intentions. I agree that by rubbishing what you want to sell that reflects on you too but my beef is with the RoC and what it is doing and what it is not doing. I will not accept things as they stand and until a better option is on the table that is the way it will stay. I am not so anxious to give unification a try when deep down in side of me I know it will end in tears.
