Bananiot ... whilst you are flirting with the Turks... could you possibly find some time to answer the above?


He will.. he will. Be patient dear. Why hurry? :lol:

Actually I did miss her question but really she should ask the Minister, I can not speak for him. I she were to ask for my opinion, I would say TMT and EOKA B'. Unfortunately, other organisations such as "the organisation" and armed groups organised by various warlords to "protect" us, cannot be given the label terrorist yet, probably because this will tarnish the image of some important members of our society, dead or alive. History will take care of this in due course, no doubt.

The "organisation" you refer to wouldn't be EOKA by any chance? :?

He was clearly referring to EOKA B and TMT.

However, he neglected to mention that these organisations were the seedlings spawn by British Imperial "Divide and Rule" during the 50s when GCs were fighting for self determination. He also neglected to mention that it was a foreign conspiracy that led to the 74 invasion and not so much EOKA B and TMT intercommunal violence. There was no intercommunal violence in 74. History cannot be manipulated by anyone for the purposes of political expediency.

This has nothing to do with Minister Demetriou as we cannot accuse him of anything other than political expediency, but those who wish to assault the memory of those fallen in the 50s, and slander them in a most despicable way, need an attitude readjustment. Cyprus will never forget them. Their memory is eternal.

Cyprus can do without comments such as these:

What's legal about shooting civilians and women in the back?

The illegal eoka terrorists were not fighting for "self determination", they were murdering people for enosis.

Paphitis, stop making a fool of yourself. If you do not know about the "organisation" then you know nothing about the Cyprus issue. Do some homework but I could just give you a hint. Yiorgadjis was the leader and Papadopoulos the deputy and it was formed after independence.

My question is this:

The minister has re-written the history books regarding the extremist groups. I'm not asking on whether they are right or wrong just on the authority that this minister has on changing the text of the islands history. The govt spokesman said these are simply issues that the Cypriot society need to debate, but we're talking about including them in the history books as new facts...surely its too late to debate this?

Who is on the committee that has decided the changes?
