you thought long and hard for this "statement" Umit? Is this the culmination of your theories and knowledge? That Papadopoulos is the dead Ex-leader of EOKA?

[Bananiot]

Papadopoulos belongs to this cast of people: Yiorgatzis, Grivas, Sampson etc. Everybody knows this and besides, the remnants of the above are all in the same boat with Papadopoulos. If he wins, the first to congratulate him will be a certain Stylianos Patakos, who in 2004 declared hima worthy son of the nation!

PAPADOPOULOS, Tassos Code-name Defkalion (A member of the Nicosia gang of Eoka terrorists, he became a member of the MAKARIOS government after Cyprus gained independence in 1960. He was first appointed Minister of the Interior, but GEORGADJIS ‘persuaded’ ‘Black Mak’ to change his mind in his favor.



A young Papadopoulos (extreme left) watches Minister of Interior GEORGADJIS paying his respects to MAKARIOS, soon after Cyprus was granted independence. Most hardline Eoka members were given posts in government, civil service and nationalized industries.

In 2003, he was elected President of Cyprus (Greek).

As a young man, he trained as a lawyer in London. Sensing an opportunity for power, he returned to Cyprus in 1957 and ingratiated himself with PEKA, Eoka’s expanding political wing. In February 1959, he attended the Lancaster House conference in London on the future of Cyprus, but on his own initiative as MAKARIOS chose not to invite him in case he expressed too many pro-GRIVAS views. He was one of two delegates - arriving as ‘independents’ - to vote against the agreed settlement.

On 15.03.59, at a reception hosted in the house of Nicosia businessman Gabriel GAVRIELIDES, GRIVAS authorized Papadopoulos to pay £100 to every guerrilla now returning home. Later, in the run-up to independence, MAKARIOS appointed him to the ‘Transition Committee’ to handle ‘Internal Affairs’.

Today he is married to Fotini MICHAELIDES She was the millionairess widow of Polycarpos GEORGADJIS.

While MAKARIOS was never certain where Papadopoulos’s loyalties lay in the struggle between himself and GRIVAS, he always gave him important posts in his administration. Nobody disagreed that Papadopoulos was driven by personal ambition. In 1976, MAKARIOS ordered him to negotiate a settlement with the Cypriot Turks now that the Island was split after the Turkish invasion/intervention two years earlier. His ‘peace’ proposals were considered ‘totally unacceptable’ by the Turks.

Not even a sensationalized and partially manufactured version by Turkish Cypriots can make this man look bad...
