Papadopoulos was buried with the FLAG of GREECE and not CYPRUS!

What the Hell!

At least we know that we, TCs, were right regarding his dream of complete ENOSIS!

True to the Death, eh!

Cyprus(the main flag) and Greek flag. Just shows how the Turkish press presented the picture to create some stir.

Is there a Greek flag there or not?

The fact that T. Papadopoulos' casket had both flags on it is an indication of dual loyalties that he had. True, the inclusion of the Greek flag will be used as ammunition by certain folk to show the world that T. Papadopoulos did not think of himself as solely Cypriot, but the fact of the matter is that if T. Papadopoulos had specificed both flags in his will, then one needs to respect those wishes.

Mixing the Greek flag with the Cyprus flag is a clear sign that tells us that the Greeks still believe the old "Cyprus is Greek" crap we have been hearing since 1963.

TPapadopoulos was not the only "true Cypriot" who was buried wrapped up in Greek flag, so was the coffins of the recently buried missing GCs. In fact, everywhere you look in South Cyprus, you'll always see a Greek flag.

I don't disagree with you. I was making a point about the pictures in the Turkish press which misled people like MrH of JUST having the Greek flag and NOT the Cypriort.

Sorry but I have not seen or read any newspapers today apart from the Famagusta gazette that I clicked on at the bottom of the CF forum, can you post a link where it says that?

If you read the constitution of the Republic of Cyprus - the GREEK flag as representation of the GREEK Community in Cyprus will fly along side that of the Cyprus flag. The same applies to the TURKISH Community. This is not a new thing invented by the GREEK Cypriots but in agreement with the original guarantor powers who established the Republic of Cyprus.

This has nothing to do with the wishes of PAPADOPOULOS but with existing protocol in accordance with the constitution of the Republic of Cyprus.
