No I have often described the massacres in fitting terms. And just as often mentioned that these massacres were happening an equally horrible massacre of GCs was going on AT THE SAME TIME in Afania. Sevgul Uludag documented it in her articles. So there could not have been the excuse that it was payback for Maratha and Tziaos. They were simultaneous acts typical of fanatics on both sides.
As for the GCs having a policy of exterminatin TCs is it worth recalling that Makarios was horrified at the suggestion made by a Greek officer, Papapostolou, to wipe out TCs and had him sent off the island.
So far the numbers of casualties and missing persons do not support the view, rather the opposite is coming to the surface.
