The briefing compiled for the UK Parliment in May 1992 was published and sig 131 Members of both Houses of Parliament and of all political parties
Chairman : Keith Speed, RD MP Conservative;
Vice-Chairmen : Lord Willis, Labour, Andrew Faulds MP Labour;
Treasurer : Peter Fry MP Conservative;
Secretaries : Stephan Day MP Conservative, John D. Taylor MP UUP
Their briefing was not paid for hot air as "yavshak" GR would like to believe or claim, but depended on European news reporters, as well as involving UNFCYP and Red Cross, with full details of names and dates!
British Parliment is not a circus, where MPs issue publishings based on hot air and unsupported evidence. Any argument to hold any ground must be strongly supprted by facts.
No matter how you scream and twist the truth is:
- Makarios was a paedophile, whose sexual preferences were manipulated by the British Secret Service in securing a Cyprus Republic rather than his desires at the time (i.e. ENOSIS).
- Professor Ernst Forsthoff, the neutral President of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Cyprus in an interview with the UPI press agency on 30th December 1963 said: "All this happened because Makarios wanted to remove all constitutional rights from the Turkish Cypriots."
- In his book "The Way the Wind Blows" former British Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home said "I was convinced of the view that if Archbishop Makarios could not bring himself to treat the Turkish Cypriots as human beings he was inviting the invasion and partition of the island."
- The U.K. House of Commons Select Committee found that, "There is little doubt that much of the violence which the Turkish Cypriots claim led to to the total or partial destruction of 103 Turkish villages and the displacement of about a quarter of the total Turkish Cypriot population, was either directly inspired by, or certainly connived at, by the Greek Cypriot leadership itself"
- On 12th March 1977 Makarios had declared "In the name of ENOSIS that Cyprus has been destroyed."
- On Independence Day 1985 the Greek Cypriot Daily Simerini lamented as follows: "We believed that we are the centre of the Earth. We thought that we, small and insignificant as we are, would be capable of exercising policy on an intercontinental plane. But also above all we underestimated the Turks. The unstable and fickle policy of our leaders has brought us to the brink of total disaster."
- On 19th July 1974, before the Turkish army landed, Archbishop Makarios told the UN Security Council "I do not yet know the details of the Cyprus crisis caused by the Greek military regime. I am afraid that the number of losses is great... I considered the danger from Turkiye lesser than the danger from Greek army officers."
- In an article on 28th February 1976 in the Greek Cypriot press Father Papatsestos said: It is a rather hard thing to say, but it is true that the Turkish intervention saved us from a merciless internecine war. The Sampson regime had prepared a list of all Makarios supporters, and they would have slaughtered them all." Many of the people saved by Turkiye are members of the present Greek Cypriot leadership.
1) That Makarios was a paedophile
2) That Professor Ernst Forsthoff really said what he did. Just quote me the link from the publication3) The link from the House Select Committee
4) I also need verification regarding the quote from Makarios and simerini. Can't seem to find it anywhere.
5) As for Papapetsos i don't who this is or what he does.
Anyway start with that Zan. I believe this is false but if you find me some independent verification i will believe. And when i say independent just steer clear from turkish interests groups and you'll be fine.
One item at a time DT at your insistence. An email is winging its way to the German newspaper that it was first published in. I am not hopeful that I will even get to the bottom of this but I feel I must try for your sake.
The fact that things are reported and there is nothing on the Net does not make it false but without it I suppose you have a case. The fact that you are blaming people for reporting, who ever they are payed by, is just sour grapes my friend. You cannot throw the baby out with the bath water. Who do you think you are Kikapu....
