From the way you write you seem to be very young. and perhaps born after 1974. Am I right ?

1983 to be more exact... a "TRNC" baby!

A young Turkish Cypriot !

Greece did come to the aid of Cyprus in 1974, I fought with the special greek forces side by side, first in Kyrenia where 250 of us held off the Turks for 3 days -this is a fact, secondly at Nicosia airport to hold the airport, where we succeded. I can honestly tell you that no one fights light a Greek, we should be proud of our motto " molon lave " .

Byron, let me refresh your memories. Unlike what the Turks claim that in 1974, when Turkey was invading, there were 20,000 Greek Soldiers in Cyprus (if such would have been the case, not only Turkish troops would have never been able to land even one soldier on Cyprus, but would instead might still be swimming their way back to Turkey,) the only Greek forces that fought in Cyprus was the 1960 treaty “Eldyk” contingent of 950 soldiers and an air-transferred company of 250 commandos that came on the night of the 21 July 74; thirty of which were lost on the accidental friendly shooting of 2 of their 15 North-Atlas small plains. That was all!

That is only half of it.

My father in law told me that the coupist extremists deliberately left the CNG poorly equiped even as the Turkish Army was landing. Those few that were willing to fight had to even grab the boots from dead Turkish soldiers. That is how desperate things were.

Also, even as some were heading to confront the Turkish Army around Mia Milia, some CNG were walking in the opposite direction. We had no chance.

I think I remember your father in law, he was up front giving directions !!!

Seriously, I think your information is second hand whilst I was actually there. Maybe the discussion should be between your father in law and I then we could perhaps understand each other better.

Maybe you and my father and law know each other.

Let me know your Division and Unit, and I will go and ask him.

Then I will arrange for you 2 to have a chat.

You would need a strong stomach though because he spent 3 months in an Adana Prison, and is still messed up from the experience. I am documenting his experiences right now. He never spoke to his 2 daughters about this, but feels comfortable with me.

Then I must know him,

Byron, just answer the questions.

Did you end up in Adana? I only ask because if you did, then perhaps you should have a chat with my father in law.

Feel free to pm me if you want to remain private.

Hey Byron, didn’t you see me there? I was the guy hovering in the Apache supporting operation Greek Mythology 74…

My father in law did mention some lunatic flying around in a chopper.

Byron is trying to raise our collective blood pressure.

Re malaka! There were two submarines in sight of the Turkish invasion fleet and Fleet commander Arapakis ordered them to retreat to Rhodos. Two fucking torpedoes would have put an end to the invasion before it even started, but Greece chose not to interfere.

Brigadier Georgitsis, the commander ot the Cyprus National Guard, reported how he had to hang his phone outside his window to convince the assholes in Athens that the Turks were bombing Nicosia.

Georgitsis is not a Cypriot, he was a brigadier in the Greek army, posted to Cyprus because he was their man. And his Athens bosses told him on the phone "you are lying, you are reporting bombing inorder to involve Greece".

And you have the fucking nerve to tell us that Greece helped Cyprus in 1974! And to add insult to injury there is this "karamella" I hear every time the issue of treason is raised, that it was not Greece, it was the junta, as if the junta people were of some other nationality or other planet.

There were some people, mostly individual officers, like Alevromagiros, who forgot the treasonous orders and organized the defence of whatever areas they could with the resources they had. But these people were the exceptions not the rule.

The truth is that the junta made a deal for double union with Turkey. The Turks realised the fuck up and confusion and took advantage, double crossing the naive bastards who thought they could do something this drastic with no preparation or substantial force in place.
