That's nonsense.
More double talk from no one agent......
Makarios said:
I do not know as yet all the details of the Cyprus crisis caused by the Greek military regime.I am afraid that the number of casualties is large and that the material destruction is heavy. What is, however, our primary concern at present is the ending of the tragedy.
Challenge me on it GR....Go ON!!!!!!!
The dead from the coup were only around 50-60 if I remember well so quoting Makarios as saying "thousands" is as thick as it gets... I don't doubt him saying that damage was "large"... it is a relative word.
From the horses mouth and you still try to squirm out of it....hahaha
Now let me see........20,000 Greeks arrive from Greece and start a coup with Makarios supporters being killed left right and centre....Then Makarios asks his men to put down their weapons and more killings happened and it only amounted to 50 or 60..........Nice resistance that you boasted about earlier in your carrier...You seem to want it always Gr and it ain't gonna happen...The fighting was intense and thoussands were murdered by the Greeks and you guys blame it on Turks......So whats new???
There has been a coup d'état every ten years in Turkey.
And some 150 000 Turkish settlers plus 40 000 Turkish troops infected the island.
It was a completely fucked up time and the Turkish presence didnt ease things at all
