Fortunatly the GC muhtar of the village gave word and my uncle hid outside that night to see if it was true. It was, the guy who would come to his house in the evenings with his kids to watch TV conspired to kill him. He left for Britain the next day.
One from my village was brutally murdered in 1967. The GCs had lists of these and they were picked out and killed where they would/could find them.
I guess they really do hold a grudge then. Some of are still thinking of getting back on us for 1571! That's why I'm for the zone soln. . It seems they couldn't harm us when we were secluded from them. They hold a grudge so much that they even payed two Argentenian UN soldiers to kill my fathers brother ( who was a ex-TMT commander ) while he was at his barn house on SBA land, this happened in the 80's.
You sound like gossiping folk trying to outdo each other with the odd individual experience and hearsay.
Notice no GC has degraded themselves by harping on in this fashion about some neighbour wanting him dead; although you can be sure for every one of your gossips, there would be countless GCs having suffered the same.
Of tantamount importance is the fact that the suffering of the GCs and the sheer actual losses in numbers at the hands of Turks have been so vast. that to be given this treatment such as you have displayed would be disrespectful.
So I'll leave you to gossip your memory-tales whilst we try and move on from the real and continuing threat that 40,000 Turkish troops spread amongst our ancient villages pose to the Cypriots and their way of life.
