In 1999, four years before being nominated for the ticket of the “democratic progressive forces”, Mr. Papadopoulos proudly wrote the preface to the re-publication of one of the most bigoted publications ever. This volume, consisting of all the issues of the periodical “Egerterion Salpispa (Clarion Call)”, is currently part of all the school libraries of Cyprus. Our children are taught, among others, that Savvas Menoikos, who was stoned to death for his ideas, in Lefkoniko, was a traitor. And more is yet to come…

Neither a traitor, nor a hero!
A victim of Grivas paranoia against leftists.

Kifeas, thanks for the brief info about Menikos. What was his ideas that disturbed Grivas?

[Kifeas]

I am not aware of the exact details.
It is not clear whether Grivas personally ordered his murder.
Menikos was an Akel newspaper distributor.
Some people accused him for collaborating with the British, against the Eoka struggle

Of course it was murder, in cold blood, not to mention the method used for his execution. The orders for the killings of leftists were signed by "Defkalion" the pseudonym of our President of today.

So what is this ""Defkalion" the pseudonym of our President of today" business, i have no idea what you are talking about bananiot.[/quote]

Get serious! If you know anything about this case, then write it down.
Papadopoullos is not an angel but don't try to grasp every opportunity to unveil your paranoia against him. Everybody knows by now that you recent him for your own reasons. Point is taken! Move on!

[Bananiot]

These are historical facts nobody has denied before. Papadopoulos, just like all EOKA members, had a pseudonym and his particular one was "Defkalion" and he was responsible for ordering the killings of leftists. This is very well known and if you have heard it for the first time then I suggest you get down to reading the historical facts. Let me also inform you that EOKA killed more cypriots than Brits. So, it was not just Menoikos but many more that fell victims to his fanaticism.

[Andrik]

So what exactly is your point?? That we have an elected president (who was elected with the help of the left) who killed or ordered the killing of Leftist Greeks??

And even if your accusations are correct what would you have as do? Can you deny that your Turkish Military Leaders have not ordered the killings of or actually killed innocent citizens who were opposed over the years??

Mr Bananidot,
Do you know how old was Papadopoullos when Savvas Menikos was murdered? 20-21 years old. Do you think EOKA would have assigned to a youngster such a task, to decide the faith and order the execution of people?
Get serious in this forum! You are simply ridiculing all your postings, irrespective of weather you have any valid points or not. No one can take your postings seriously if you continue throwing mud and lies.

Let me also inform you that EOKA killed more cypriots than Brits. So, it was not just Menoikos but many more that fell victims to his fanaticism.

I am aware of this better than you are. Read my first posting in this threat, more carefully. And again, get serious!
