[Get Real!]

Hey, a guy's gotta make a living!

He is not the only one. Read Paul Theroux's the Pillars of Hercules to see how authors know very well on which side their bread is buttered. But eventually lies catch up with one, and in Theroux's case he traps himself in his own book.

I’d have more respect for these people if they sold their mothers for a living than their blatant attempts to distort history, for only a very foul upbringing could possibly lead to such disgraceful behavior.

your feelings about tcs is no diferent than tcs feeling you greeks/cypriots. we think you are the scum of this planet. you lie, you dsitort history, you thing you are superior when you're just paesents, the list is endles. all the reason to stay separate no?

My feelings expressed above were for the small group of foreign authors who spread misinformation in the world. I made no mention of TCs here.

Separate? sure! Go find yourselves a country because this was taken before you landed here uninvited...

I cant be bothred to look now but you post many insults about tcs. You show me one post whree you write good thing abou tc and i will say sorry you.

I don’t like giving or receiving apologies as they get in the way of my freedom of expression and that’s something I can’t have.

Just did a quick net search for this Gibbons author. No information about him, or any other writing other than this book. Where is the other work he is supposed to have done, as a journalist and writer, in the broader middle East?

Interesting! And strange that it took so many years to figure out the ruse. Our good faith will be our undoing.

If they’re not imaginary characters, then they appear to be a husband & wife team of wannabe authors who have setup their own “publishing” house no doubt funded by Turkey, and most likely even got handed the manuscript from the Turkish propaganda machine to publish.

I have read the book, 'The Genocide Files' hesitatingly. I can see clearly why GR and his ilk have a dislike to it. They dont like what they read; the truth does hurt. There must be some truth in there, otherwise why feel so strong about it.

I am really surprised, no ... shocked and disappointed by your view Deniz

Have a look at this from Tim's review source ....

By Matthew Stowell -

Your readers should be aware that the author of this book, Mr. Gibbons, is well-known only to Turkish Cypriots and mainland Turks. He is not considered a serious author in any other part of the world, including his native Britain. Since the 1970s he has been a well-paid propagandist for the Turkish Cypriot cause and his book is 95 percent fiction. These files that he claims to have found, and upon which he bases his book, never existed. They are akin to the "Hitler Diaries" of a few years ago. Except in Northern Cyprus and Turkey (and the Internet) you will not find his book for sale. It is common practice for Turkey to appropriate atrocity stories from other wars and other countries, change the names and locations, and claim them as their own. It is a shame that this packet of lies posing as a timely document is on the market and thus able to
contribute to the further brainwashing of Turkish Cypriots and their supporters. There are many other fine books on the subject, esp. The Cyprus Conspiracy.

Why shocked Oracle. I said I read it hesitatingly after the book was given to me to read and comment. The title speaks for itself. I for one do not agree that 'genocide' ever took place in Cyprus. Murders/massacres/ethnic cleansing, yes. Genocde NO. Some of the events did take place and some I have no idea. Which? I cant recall at the moment. As to the authors credibilty, its not up to me to judge.

Lets say, 'where there is no fire, there is no smoke'. Somewhere in that book, there is some truth. Unfortunately.

Pleased to see you back-track on what you stated.

Really!
You were very quick to assert that the only reason GR! and his ilk (me) did not like it ...

I can see clearly why GR and his ilk have a dislike to it.

... was because according to you, it told the truth ...

They dont like what they read; the truth does hurt.

So according to you, we now have to believe there was a Genocide in Cyprus, of TCs, and the only person who knew about it was this Dirty Harry? Who has now influenced immeasurable numbers of bloodthirsty Turks hell-bent on revenge against the GCs by taking their country away from them!

GR's and Oracle's antics have become simply bizzare and laughable...
If they don't like the message,they attack the messenger...
The messenger does not exist,or if he/she does he is a stooge,and very discreditable...No source on the internet is credible or independent enough,if they don't agree with its contents...I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY MINDS AS CLOSED AS THESE TWO'S...I HAVENT SEEN ANY MIND AS TOTALLY ONE-SIDED AS THESE TWO'S...NO WONDER THEY CANNOT SLEEP AT NIGHT... THEY MUST BE WONDERING WHY EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD DO NOT SEE THINGS AS THEY DO...AND WORRY AND WORRY AND WORRY...
