The 44th anniversary of the resistance put up by Turkish Cypriots in Limassol at the height of Greek Cypriot attacks on Turkish Cypriot enclaves across Cyprus, is being marked with ceremonies.

Martyrs who fell during the struggle were remembered at a special ceremony held in front of the Limassol-Girne M artyrs Monument in Girne (Kyrenia) this morning.

The ceremony started at 10.00 with the laying of wreaths at the Limassol-Girne Martyrs Monument in Girne – where most of Turkish Cypriots from Limassol now live.

It continued with the observance of one-minute silence and the shooting of guns in memory of those killed during the resistance.

And, the flags were hoisted to the National Anthem.

In a speech to the ceremony, Erbil Aydınova – an official from the Cyprus Turkish Fighters’ Society said that the 21st December 1963 attacks had sparked the `Bloody Noel` events and that 51 days after that date Greek-Greek Cypriot duo had chosen Limassol as its next target.

He said that Turkish Cypriots had waged a heroic struggle in the city although they were outnumbered by attacking Greek and Greek Cypriot forces.

Mr Aydınova said that it is worrying that Greek Cypriots are still continuing the armament it started in 1955.

Providing a short summary of the bitter experiences of the past, he called on the youth to learn from the past.

The ceremony ended with poems read by students.
Prayers were also said for martyrs at the Ağa Cafer Paşa Mosque in Girne.

May the martyrs who fell at the hands of the murderous Greek/GC duo for ENOSIS rest in peace. We have a lot of gratitude and our thanks to all those who successfully stopped the Greeks/GCs from totally genociding us TCs.

It is thanks to brave men like them that we have to thank for the opportunity to now live in peace in the TRNC away from people who hate anything and anyone of Turkish decent.

THANK YOU.

Holding a remembrance day and giving the murdering terrorist scums of the EOKA is I suppose your way of "forgetting the past and looking to the future" is it?

You are a joke mate.

The EOKA was MURDERING SCUM Daft Twat, nothing but MURDERING SCUM who attempted to genocide us TCs for YOUR dream of ENOSIS but our brave martyrs put a stop to the murdering scum and an end to your ENOSIS dream.

"heroes"my arse, they were a murdering bunch of low life scum who even murdered little babies as young as 16 days old.

Anyone who class these murdering bastards as "heroes" are low life scum themselves.

What did EOKA have to do with the fighting in 1963? EOKA was finished and disbanded by late 1959.

How many were honored at this ceremony? We did not see a number.

Stop lying you twit, EOKA was alive and murdering innocent people and babies or was it the GCs who murdered their own neighbours and 16 day old Turkish Cypriot babies?

Mr Aydınova said that it is worrying that Greek Cypriots are still continuing the armament it started in 1955.

Maybe the presence of 43,000 Turkish troops on Cyprus has some influence on the need to keep our defences up.

Never forget ... you invaded us!

.... and so the continuation of the propaganda and brainwashing continues. I suppose you have Hitler's tradition to uphold.
