We all have differing views about EOKA not all are pleasant, please show a little respect to those who saw, witnessed and suffered from their activities...but by all means celebrate your freedom from British rule, just don't rub it in to hard.

The freedom from British rule would not have been possible if it wasn't for them. Why don't you accept that they Cypriots had the right to fight for their freedom with all means after they were fooled and refused self determination?

Terrorists one and all - who in the end didn't achieve there goal. Union with Greece.

God rest the souls of all the Servicemen, families and others murdered by them.

They all rest in hell alongside Hitler, Mussolini and Saddam Hussein.

17 year old schoolboy (Pallikarides) knew the risks and the law so he swung.

Reality - wanted Republic go it apart from SBA Areas.

Union with Motherland - still dreaming.

Lost the TRNC because of eoka dreams and hate towards anything not GC.

I am sure many of you would like to see Cyprus a british colony for ever. Keep dreaming.

Deniz,

At least now they have to pay and not take and exploit everything for free.

Remember also the many innocent victims of EOKA. There were many, GCs and TCs. Also british servicemens women folk. They were innocent victims too.

Mrs.Catherine Cutliffe, her daughter Margaret, and their German born friend Mrs. Elfriede Robinson, were shopping in Famagusta's Hermes Street. It was a special day for the Cutliffe family, Margaret was shopping for her Trousseau, she was engaged to a member of her father's regiment, 29 Field R.A. As they were leaving a shop in the Greek quarter of Famagusta (Varosha), Margaret was carrying her wedding dress.

They had taken but a few steps, when two youths opened fire on them, from behind, one gunman shot Mrs. Cutliffe twice in the back, then twice more, as she lay bleeding on the street, Mrs Robinson was shot by the other youth, who continued to shoot her as she lay on the pavement, Margaret by some miracle was unhurt, Mrs Robinson eventually recovered from her injuries, but Mrs Cutliffe died almost immediately.


And many many more cowardly attacks from the rear.

So what did Eoka achieve??? F88k all is the reality.

I did except it kurupetos, just don't go on about it. It would be nice to also remember those who died and were injured on both sides...wouldn't it. The rest of Europe and the world seem to be in harmony when remembering war dead and injured from conflicts.
Regarding British colony again...no I could not give a damm, Cyprus offers me the the same if not better business opportunities now, thank you very much.
So you have nothing to fight over my little EOKA friend...
