Turkey made a similar mistake, and bombed one of her warships.

Anyway do you know how many Samspon Greek Coup soldiers were on Cyprus during the invasion? Where were they and what did they do?

What do you mean by "Samspon Greek Coup soldiers?"

Did Sampson try to overthrow Makarios, without the aid of Greek Soldiers, from Greece. It was reported by BBC that some two thousand died fighting in the coup, were all of Sampsons fighters gc then?

No Gabaston, you are mixing up facts.
Sampson did not organise and did not participate in the coup. Samson was chosen later by the Greek Junta, after the coup occurred, in order to replace Makarios as President.

The coup was carried out by the GC National Guard (Greek Cypriot army,) acting under the command of some mainland Greek officers. No Greek soldiers participated in the coup. As you know, (similarly to the TC armed forces, which had mainland Turkish officers in charge of them,) the majority of GC National Guard had mainland Greek officers in charge -especially at the highest ranks. Cyprus didn't have a long army tradition and therefore there were no experienced and qualified Cypriot officers to be in charge of the army. Therefore, officers from mainland Greek Army were seconded to the GC National Guard in order to cover the posts in which there were no GC officers available.

Are you serious Kifeas in saying that no Greek soldiers participated in the coup? I remember quite vividly that Greek soldiers manned the coupist controlled roadblocks. Do you mean that they did not actually attacked the Presidential Palace? If so, this is far from saying that they did not participate in the coup because the coup was not just the attack on the PP.

Which roadblocks re? Outside the ELDYK camp in Yerolakkos? Where else?
Did ELDYK engage into any fights? Where?

The attack on the presidential palace was not carried out by the cavalry units from Lakatamia base and the 32 commandos battalion in Ayios Chrisostomos?

I am very serious! Are you?

Recently on TurkishPress: 5/19/2005 noted Talat that:.

''The Greek Cypriot leadership has an ethical obligation to stop individual cases. This is a true test of leadership. The leadership must motivate the citizenry so that a comprehensive solution is found in Cyprus,''

Talat remarked that,

although property cases seem to be made by ''individuals,'' the Greek Cypriot leadership is behind all the cases. ''Such cases cause difficulty in our ties,''

Who does this moron think he is talking to? We will continue to pursue remedies through Court regardless of whatever any government tells us. Talat may not realise that many displaced persons/refugees are financing Court proceedings in exile without even using Cypriot Lawyers. Barristers from the UK have been running matters for exiled refugees for almost ten years may be more.

Talat is a fridge mechanic who should concern himself with repairing air conditioners ,not weighing into legal proceedings

Mr Achilles

I do not think that "serious discussion" is within your capabilities.

Mr Achilles

As much as it pains me I must retract my comment
