How can you say in other threads there is "no evidence" that Turks Genocided Armenians despite the fact that Turks murdered Armenians in the 100s of thousands in
1894-96 and 10s of thousands in
1909. In 1915 Turks forced Armenian women and children and elderly to march across Anatolia without sufficient transport or food or water or shelter. Why did some of these convoys go in circles ? Why did some of these convoys bypass townships where they could get life giving sustenance ? And then Turkish leaders claim they died by accident ? And those Armenian women and children who were "relocated" to the bottom of the
Black Sea? I suppose that is not evidence for Genocide but "massacres carried out by private citizens". Even the Germans, your WW1 buddies (and witnesses to the crimes), say a Genocide occurred. Did you read about the Genocide resolution in the USA ? Even those politicians that voted AGAINST the resolution, CONCEDED a Genocide occurred but they did not want to upset the Turkish Ally.
Having said that,
What is your evidence GCs has "Genocidal agendas" ?
Are you saying the GC leftists had a Genocidal agenda ?
Or was it just the coupists that had a "Genocidal agenda" ?
Coupists are a minority, right ? That's why they have to do coups, right ?
Maybe the coupists were only interested in declaring and securing Enosis. Maybe the coupists would have to kill the TC leadership to pacify the ordinary TCs. (As Turkey did to the GCs in 1822 or the Kurds in 1920s). Maybe the coupists would ban Turkish language, schools, newspapers, etc and henceforth call TCs "Mountain Greeks". Maybe they would have told the TCs that if they did not want to become citizens of Greece they they could pack their bags and leave. (As Turkey did to the Alexandrettans in 1939). Maybe they could have introduced RACIST and DESTRUCTIVE laws on TCs, like an OUTRAGEOUS wealth tax intended to IMPOVERISH and (most importantly!) CRIMINALISE the TC tax payer.(Like Turkey did to Greeks during WW2). Perhaps turn TC areas into OPEN PRISONS. This list can go on.
There are many ways to get rid of TCs. GCs can look to Turkey for inspiration.Anyway,
What is your evidence GCs wanted to rid Cyprus of ALL TCs ?
What is your evidence GCs would get rid of them by Genocide ?
