EOKA BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN GREEK CYPRIOTS

Greek Cypriots call for Enosis on the anniversary of the EOKA day and reveal their aggressive designs over Northern Cyprus. EOKA is the terrorist organisation formed by Greece in Cyprus in the mid-fifties, responsible for murdering hundreds of British, Turkish and Greek Cypriots.


On April 1, during the remembrance ceremony at Ayia Ionni Church Glafcos Clerides, the leader of the Greek Cypriots, one of the leaders of the EOKA delivered a speech in which he praised the struggles of the EOKA.
Greek Cypriot daily Politis dated 2 April 2001 reported that on April 1, on the anniversary of the establishment of EOKA given at Ayia Ionni Church, Clerides repeated once again the determination to continue the "struggle". According to Clerides, the "struggle" is "to liberate" the North.


Politis further reported that in his message Clerides said, "Liberating our lands that are under occupation is a serious responsibility on our shoulders, which has to be fulfilled".


Another Greek Cypriot daily Simerini dated 2 April 2001 reported that during the celebrations marking the anniversary of EOKA held at Eleftheria Sports Centre, Clerides was observed applauding slogans chanted by the audience saying "No to Federation; Cyprus-Greece-ENOSIS" (union of Cyprus with Greece).
This is not an April Fool’s Day joke; it is the reality of Cyprus. Greek Cypriot leaders are portraying the Greek Cypriot terrorists, who had no hesitation in murdering innocent civilians, as "heroes" and pledging to follow their example.


It is clear that they have not given up their dream of uniting Cyprus to Greece. British and the EU politicians who extend unconditional support to the Greek Cypriot side have to realise that the longer they carry on with their support, the longer the Cyprus conflict will last.

The Turkish Terrorist Organisation T.M.T.
The first inter-communal violence in the recent history of Cyprus was, in fact, caused by T.M.T. This was the result of a policy of hate cultivated by the Turkish Cypriot leadership and it aimed at persuading world public opinion that Turkish Cypriots could not co-exist with Greek Cypriots and, therefore, partition in one form or another was necessary. On 12 June 1958 eight innocent and unarmed Greek Cypriot civilians from Kondemenos village were murdered by T.M.T. terrorists near the Turkish populated village of Geunyeli. That was the first incident involving human lives. According to the findings of the "Commission of Inquiry into the Incidents at Geunyeli" (appointed by the British colonial administration), which were also included in the official report of Sir Paget Bourke, Chief Justice of Cyprus, "for some days prior to 12 June, in fact from 7 June, inter-communal feeling was running very high in the island and there had been many instances of attacks by Turks, particularly in Nicosia, upon members of the Greek community and upon Greek property". There is no reference to attacks on Turkish Cypriots as there were no such attacks. The T.M.T. terrorists attacked again in 1963. This is evidenced by the fact that they were found in possession of vast quantities of arms. Moreover, Turkish intentions were revealed in the "Deniz" incident when the Turkish ship full of arms was sent to Cyprus as early as 1959, after the conclusion of the Agreement on Cyprus.

And to quote "the New York Times" of 27.12.1963:
"Most of the fighting centered on a police station occupied by Turks in Nicosia, and on family apartments in the suburb of Omorphita. These were overrun and occupied by Turks who chased off Greek families. They were reported to have killed an unspecified number of women and children".

GCs we never be able to live in peace with TMT fanatics such as your self, Soyer.

The first inetrcommunal violence was commenced by the TMT on 12 June 58.

Wrong on 27.12.1963 Turks were not anywhere near Omorphita police station. On 25.12.1963 Omorphita police station occupied by EOKA (Greek's)

I think there may be some confusion as to which Police Station was being refered to. The December 1963 fighting took place at the Kyrenia road/By-Pass Police Station, near the Flour Mill (Un Degirmeni.) which was the main event which stopped the GC forces in their tracks totally surrounding the TC population of Nicosia. Had the Police station not been held by the TC's, I cannot imagine what would have happened to the TCs of Cyprus.

The article is mainly highlighting the first bout of inter communal violence which was commenced by TMT on 12 Jun 58. The quote from the New York Times refers to a separate incident.

The point is that the TMT played a very important role in instigating the inter communal violence in order to promote the permanent division of Cypriots and achieve TAKSIM. But according to Soyer, it is all a 1 way street because he looks back to the past to incite further hatred to justify Turkey's illegal gains and to further promote the division.

What are you saying? This island was gripped by ethnic conflict for about two decades from the late fifties. YAWN. Tell me something new.

This is the past that started it all:

Throughout the period of Venetian rule, Ottoman Turks raided and attacked at will. In 1489, the first year of Venetian control, Turks attacked the Karpas Peninsula, pillaging and taking captives to be sold into slavery. In 1539 the Turkish fleet attacked and destroyed Limassol. Fearing the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire, the Venetians had fortified Famagusta, Nicosia, and Kyrenia, but most other cities were easy prey.

In the summer of 1570, the Turks struck again, but this time with a full-scale invasion rather than a raid. About 60,000 troops, including cavalry and artillery, under the command of Lala Mustafa Pasha landed unopposed near Limassol on July 2, 1570, and laid siege to Nicosia. In an orgy of victory on the day that the city fell--September 9, 1570--20,000 Nicosians were put to death, and every church, public building, and palace was looted. Word of the massacre spread, and a few days later Mustafa took Kyrenia without having to fire a shot. Famagusta, however, resisted and put up a heroic defense that lasted from September 1570 until August 1571.

Cyprus would be a peaceful island today without the invading murderous Turks These barbarians came here and never stoped the murders and crimes ever since Then they say they can't live with Cypriots. If you can't live with Cypriots then fuck off to where you came from! You can't take our lands! That is criminal and illegal you bloody murderous pigs!

Likewise, dont blame the TCs for the action for the even smaller numbers of TMT.

I'm not. Ordinary citizens who aren't involved, who are unsupportive of certain organisations, can't be held responsible for what a small clique of fanatics do. It's well different if people actually vote for a regime committing atrocities and just allow it to happen. This was not the case with TMT or EOKA.

One can blame TMT and Turkey for what they did to GC's. And one can blame EOKA-B and Athens for what they did to TC's (and GC's in favour of Makarios). One can also blame the whatever superpowers one think were pulling the strings. But one can never blame the grass root who were nothing but disposable pawns in this 'game'.
