This is insane...You people are living in cookoo land if you can't see what kind of man he really was. You're seriously in denial! You just don't get it...if a BISHOP is endorsing murder OF ANYONE NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON MAY BE then this tells you that something is NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!!! And given how he was precieved by MOST OF THE WORLD I can't believe you then turn around and say it was propaganda or false.... This is truly shocking and in a way frightening!!!
This is the type of conversation GCs should be having through PMs and not in a public forum while trying to convince TCs on the idea of unification.
He didn't endorse murder but a liberation struggle. Do you think the priests in any country under foreign occupation would not do the same?
And Makarios was very respected in the International community. Apparently you got the wrong impression because all you read about him are some selective British (the ones he fought against) articles that the Turkish propaganda keeps reproducing.
He has the blood of many TCs on his hands and was the cause of our suffering he was an obnoxsious joke in the international community. How ironic you defend a priest who turned a blind eye to the slaughter of my people and you expect us to accept he was a saint. He was scum and got what deserved at the right time good riddens to rubbish. Whatever you say will not change any TCs mind as for us he was your leader who inflicted a lot of hardship and suffering on "his people" the TCs.
You do not represent the international community. You only hear what your dictators from Turkey want you to hear. You are a Turkish mouthpiece without a mind of her own.
