We have all heard various stories. Some are obvious exaggerations, some are from reliable witnesses. A close friend, enlisted in the National Guard in 1974 as an older recruit, having just finished his studies in London, was taken prisoner in Kythrea on August 14 1974. He and other soldiers, along with some civilians were marched under armed guard away from the village. He told me that two older women went a little hysterical during this march and kept screaming for a doctor. One of the soldiers waved them to the side and shot one dead. This story I believe. And the question is not the shooting, but the arrest of civilians and their being marched away from their houses. This was the major war crime in this case.
The point was that the Turkish soldiers did not land and check into the nearest hotel Nikitas.....You guys have seen war films and must have read some books on the subject of war.....It seems that you have only seen Greek war films in which you guys are the heroes at every turn......If you cannot get this and need a more detailed explanation...Let me know
