GR asked me that question months ago and I remember not answering him. He has his own versions and I have mine. The truth is known to the people who lived through it and not by people who merely read about it.
I have also read from (non-TC sources) esp Greek Army Officers of the conflict and the heroic resistance of the few hundred University brothers of mine and of the resistance they put up against the National Guard and their Eoka henchmen. Yes , they were holding a bridgehead in hope of a Turkish Invasion and yes they were nearly starved to death. ...and finally the arrival of the Turkish Jets did save them from annihilation. What is the point GR is trying to score now?
btw, since when have you become GRs mouthpiece?
Have a g'day and thank you for yur politeness.(in advance)
Sorry Denizmeans these people were working towards taksim, and were enemies of a state. I'm sure that if someone held a bridgehead for the Kurds in Turkey for the reasons of an invasion by Kurdish forces and partitio of Turkey that the Turkish forces would be in their rights to crush that rebellion."Yes , they were holding a bridgehead in hope of a Turkish Invasion"
Now your second line confuses meThats like saying the burglar in my house had to hide in the closet until we were gone but because he was crouchng so long had to go to hospital afterwards with severe back pain..."and yes they were nearly starved to death".
Thanks fr your response DT.
The fact that Turkey never came shows that Turkey had no plans, or she would have come.
What we call the Erenoy incidences were in response to the GC dream of Enosis. They were not going to let the GC walk all over them.
As to their starving, as far as the university students were concerned it showed them the unwillingness of Turkey to help. When it was finally all over, they were not a happy lot (as far as Turkey was concerned).
