What exactly is your point? I am sure equivalent crap like that has been published in Greek papers as well. It ain't something Ecevit wrote for sure.

I can swear that poem has been written by a Cypriot, which might be totally understandable given the circumstances most TC were forced to live under for prolonged years.

My grandpa used to write many poems about the "Gavur" and about Makarios especially, which in fact got him arrested when a GC soldier found it in his pocket at a checkpoint, he wasn't allowed to leave Lefke again, bless him.

Nice poem Phoenix, where did you find it? Or did you wirte it ?

Here is the Original .... (I don't do Turkish )

KIN (Hatred)

Kahpe Yunan bu dünyada durdukça
Bu kin benden vallâhi de gidemez
Durup durup köpek gibi gördükçe
Bu kin benden vallâhi de gidemez
Bin Gâvur kellesi bir kin ödemez

Ŏç almaktur yergâne tasam
Sira gėlse savaş meydanuna uğrasam
Bir günde bin Gâvur kellesi doğrasam
Bu kin benden vallâhi de gidemez
Bin Gâvur kellesi bir kin ödemez

Otuz bininin taşla ezsem başinı
On bininin pensle söksem dişini
Yüz bininin çaya döksem leşini
Bu kin benden vallâhi de gidemez
Bin Gâvur kellesi bir kin ödemez

Bütün dünya bilir Türk ’ün farkını
Yunan ’in başina yikan çarkınt
Künhanlarda yâksam beş bin kırkını
Bu kin benden vallâhi de gidemez
Bin Gâvur kellesi bir kin ödemez

Kırk binini süngü ile pullasam
Seksen binini cehenneme yollasam
Yüz binini ile çeklip sallasam
Bu kin benden vallâhi de gidemez
Bin Gâvur kellesi bir kin ödemez

The text of HATRED was published by the large
circulation Turkish newspapaer Hurriyet on 18 July
1974, just 48 hours before the Turkish invasion of
Cyprus by order of the Bulent Ecevit government.

dearest OrPh, I dont think it will make the slightest difference to you, but the target of this poem is NOT the Greek Cypriots. It is the Yunan.
