He is taking a huge risk of public ridicule then. There will be his fellow soldiers who served with him, his official service records, his family members and a whole bunch of people who can verify his claims of having served in Cyprus in 1974. If that part checks out then his story will gain credibility. Details will come out in due course.
If he is bullshitting and that is proved then it will have a negative result on his career and his current TV series. Could he be that dumb?
Next stop...Turkish Big Brother!!!
The real question we should be asking is how many GC's were killed (Particularly Makarios supporting policemen killed by the Military) by their hellenic friends in the 2 weeks between Samson taking over and the arrival of the Turkish Soldiers.
What about the Greek Cypriots who were killed in battle, buried and recorded as missing with their families being miss-informed by the lovely civilised GC government until recently.
The figures I've found are around 2000 GCs killed by their own the whole period......10,000 Makarios supporters were targeted.
There were only 98 GC casualties as a result of the Greek Military Coup.
We have also posted the names of each casualty.
I see the mixture of Greek and Antipodean character you have developed sir. I am glad you find that statistic very funny. Although I suspect that it is underestimated by those lovely Hellenic educated ministry of home affairs official. I seemed to remember an X-Greek police officer mentioning a figure of 2000 too. But surely, the records analysed by independent people will corroborate it. Just report on how many police were on alive just before and just after. That will do it.
Some of us have family who were directly involved with the resistance and your figure of 2000 is just the biggest load of rubbish, and is NOT substantaited by anyone. So be my guest and PROVE this figure of 2000.
MORON!
