This month alone, two books were writen that include the sorry matter of Akritas Plan and the involvement in it of Tassos Papadopoulos.

And why after 40 years they decided to write these books now?

Come on my friend. We all know you are getting paid by the Americans in order to overthrown Papadopoulos and install some puppet of the americans in order to finish the crime that this small minority of traitors started with EOKA B. And with EOKA B I mean the brains that were behind it, and not the average joe idiot that joined this terrorist group. Those same people that created EOKA B are now against Papadopoulos. They hate everything that goes against their plan of destroying this place.

The more lies you say about Papadopoulos the more united we become and Papadopoulos reelection became from highly possible to certain.

Galadari: Turkish Cypriots said, after the independence and before the Turkish troops came, within 11 years, lots of massacres had occurred. When the Turkish troops came, they saved them from further violence, and if they hadn’t come, all of them might have been killed?

Papadopoulos: They say that and claim that the Turkish troops protected them.

Galadari: The Turkish Cypriots say that Mr Papadopoulos is a hard liner.

Papadopoulos: From the beginning, they were planning for a separation. But, in fact, the Turkish Cypriots were the ones who committed massacres and in 1963 we asked to increase the police patrols, but they refused. From 1963 to 1974, how many Turkish Cypriots were killed? The answer is, none.


Again: Are there any OTHER sources that mention this?

You can apply to the PIO to get the actual written interview. It amazes me how people can wear blindfolds and pretend nothing is happening out there.

It is interesting that Soyer said today, in an interview published in Politis newspaper, that he might take Tassos and others to the International War Crimes Tribunal, over the Akritas Plan.

That would be an interesting development ...

What would the grounds be Alexandros? Conspiracy to commit ethnic cleansing perhaps? Plus I don't think Soyer would be able to do so, since cases at the International Criminal Court (I'm not aware of a standing IWCT) can only be initiated either by a signatory state to the Rome Statute, by the ICC itself or by the UN Security Council.

Sounds like more bluster to me.

for any viable solution tassos has to be removed or forced.

Papadopoulos was democratically elected- He enjoys relatively high popularity- do you want him forced out of power?-are you suggesting that democracy should take a back seat in the interests of expedience?

Conspiracy to commit ethnic cleansing perhaps?

From what I remember I don't believe this was in the Akritas plan. Aren't the forms of violence suggested against TCs in the Akritas Plan as a form of retaliation?

I'm sure you might be able to get to ethnic cleansing but how exactly moose?

Democratically vote no confidense or something of the likes but now that you have other suggestions that i never even thought of, well its up to you.

Well, Turkey could raise a case on behalf of the TCs ...

And then of course the RoC would raise a case against Bulent Ecevit
