didn't mean people where trying to get eoka b out of the palace. They imprisoned every single political leader as any good coupists would do including surprise surprise Tpap.
Interesting story, the Greek Orthodox conduct a prayer over the grave of the dead on the anniversary of the death as a memorial. The parents of a dozen or so Eoka B 18 year olds who were killed by GC's requested form the Archbishop who was passing by the graves after conducting a memorial for anti-coupists who were killed to say a prayer for their kids as well. They pleaded with him that they were only 18 and were following orders.
Anyway he decided to say a few words and it opened the biggest can of worms over here you've ever seen. People started calling the Archbishop Traitor!
There is nothing wrong with what yo are saying there DT but you are trying to sidestep as to why Turkey came...I have already said a long time ago that we all know that Turkey had her interests to protect as well but we had a very good reason for wanting them to come.....Perhaps when you can accept that and the fact that the Cyprus Republic has been highjacked by the "RoC" then we can get somewhere with the Cyprob.....
