Union with Greece is the right of the Cypriot people. It is our island and we have the right to unite with anyone we want (if we want). Does Turkey take the approval of their Greek or Kurdish minority in order to take any decision? I think not.
Similarly, Turkey thought that Cyprus didn't have the right to unite with EU, and they were threatening us with another invasion if we dared to do so. Unfortunately for them this time they didn't have enough of their minority in the government controlled territory of Cyprus in order to create trouble and an excuse.
The Turkish and British invaders had collaborated to deny to the native Cypriot people their
right for self-determination. The inter communal conflict was in fact started by the TCs in 1958 to assist the British to oppress our revolution.
The Akritas plan was nothing more than a plan for the Cypriot people to gain back the rights that have been denied to them by foreigners. Nothing more than that. It didn't seek to harm anybody, just to unite Cyprus with Greece which was the desire of the vast majority of Cypriots themselves. Such plan would be unnecessary if the British and Turkish invaders had allowed the Cypriot people to decide the destiny of their own island in a peaceful and democratic way with a referendum, but they denied this to us and they choose war and oppression instead because they wanted to keep Cyprus enslaved to serve their own interests.
Our only "crime", and the only "crime" of Papadopoulos and every decent Cypriot, was that we fought for the right of Cypriot people to decide the destiny of their own island in a democratic way.
The same "crime" that Kyprianos was found guilty by the same inveders some decades earlier:
During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the Ottoman authorities feared that Greek Cypriots would rebel again. Archbishop Kyprianos, a powerful leader who worked to improve the education of Greek Cypriot children, was accused of plotting against the government. Kyprianos, his bishops, and hundreds of priests and important laymen were arrested and summarily hanged or decapitated on July 9, 1821.
We are not going to apologize to any invader because we fought for democracy and our rights. We have done it and we will do it again and again and for as long as it takes until we are free to democratically choose what we want for our own island.
We will always honor all our heros who fought for democracy and the self-determination of Cypriots. We will not falsify our history to please any invader.
