You may well have interviewed my mother. I have asked you before if you still had your notes from that day, but I believe you said that you did not.........too bad really. I do not remember kids being separated from their parents during the "welcoming period" upon our return. It may have been, but I do not have any recollection of it.
Had I known then, what I know now I would have kept contemporary notes. I was eighteen, and too young to appreciate these things. We were in too much fear then(real or imaginary?). The violence was never-ending.
I know what you mean Deniz......................too bad all the same.!
I was wondering, Deniz. Did you by any chance attend to the mass circumcision, as an observer, that was performed on the kids who were taken as prisoners, as I described in the story.?
Sorry No. I did not attend. I was probably digging trenches behing Ledra Palace Hotel, when not otherwise occupied.
Too Bad...............thanks.!
I think you have been "digging trenches" on the Cyprus Forum for a while too, Deniz.!
I'd like to think that I do not need to dig trenches anymore. I feel safe now - but 1963 was different. Perhaps I am filling the trenches in.
I can think of few people from the forum that you would like to have in the trenches before filling them in.!
TC or GC? Who do you suggest?
I'm sure you have a list and you being an "equal opportunity" kind of a guy, I'm sure you have a litle bit of both.!
