Your right mate i most certainly do need to read up on the history of the conflics in Cyprus but i would rather hear it from the horses mouth rather than a book maybe we could meet up sometime over a pint and you could tell me all about it first hand then i would have the answer to both sides of the story as there is two sides to this story is'nt there? Maybe not in your eyes? Incidently my grandmother and her friend were murdered by a TC soldier on leave in Limassol then the drunken soldier lost control of his bike mounted the pavement on October Road in june 1985 and killed them both my grandfather got no compensation from either the Cypriot or Turkish Government and the soldier claimed diplomatic amunity and served a 3 month jail sentence in Turkey.
A year later my grandad commited suicide taking his own life as he could cope no longer with the loss of the love of his life and his chiidhood sweetheart and kept blaiming himself for my grannys death.
Howdy DT. Sorry for not replying to you sooner...........better late than never eh............As far as my mother can recall she was informed by the police dealing with my grans death he was either Turkish or TC serving with the United Nations Peacekeeping Force (UNFICYP) bearing in mind this was more than 23 years ago.
