It hurts, I know, the truth always hurts.
If there were 15 GC "illegal" organisations, with 2 or 3 members in each one, and one TMT organisation but with hundreds/thousands of members ... would that constitute political equality?

Another interesting peace in today's "Politis", written by Cyprus University professor of psychology Stelios Georgiou, finishes like this:
I will say this, even if this may annoy some people. Extremist groups were found in the Greek Cypriot community. Also found are murderers of innocent people as well as national crooks who, in the name of holy struggles, committed atrocities against humanity. It is also true that people with the blood of young kids and ordinary folk on thier hands, were promoted to top positions in the police force and the public service. The stench of the corruption that soils the air today has its roots in the 1963-1974 era.

When I was in my teens we often went round to a GC friends house and in garage to lift some weights and have him teach us a bit of karate (he was a black belt) and just hang out. We had quite a mixed gang of friends.
His family were known in the area and respected, if you see what I mean. I managed to ask his dad once, whilst he sat and polished his Purdey shotgun, why he left Cyprus. I was totally green at the time to the causes of the troubles or the main participants. He told me that he had to leave in the 60s because he was a wrestler and accidently killed someone and could never return. Can anyone remember things like this happening. I now am starting to think other things...His dad always gave me funny looks and his mum never ever spoke to me????
The Turks are the ones who started the conflict, not in 1963, but in 1958, when they joined the colonialists and attacked the Greek Cypriots.
Until that point the Cypriot people were fighting against the colonialists, so Cyprus could gain its self-determination and democratically decide its own destiny by choosing one of the 3 legitimate options, one of which is " integration into an independent State" as defined by the UN resolution for decolonization.

However the Turks could not accept to allow the Cypriot people to be free, and they collaborated with the colonialists in order to oppress the Cypriot revolution, just like the had done in 1821:
During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the Ottoman authorities feared that Greek Cypriots would rebel again. Archbishop Kyprianos, a powerful leader who worked to improve the education of Greek Cypriot children, was accused of plotting against the government. Kyprianos, his bishops, and hundreds of priests and important laymen were arrested and summarily hanged or decapitated on July 9, 1821.
The "1960 agreements" were not the result of the free will of the Cypriot people, but on the contrary they were made by foreigners and were forced on the Cypriot people by the British and the Turks. Makarios was blackmailed and forced to sign them.
Obviously the Cypriot people didn't surrender to the war that the TCs started against us in 1958, and the war continued after. What happened in the 60s was a direct continuation of what happened in the end of 1950s.
This is a proof that forced "agreements" which are achieved by means of blackmail and are not the result of the free and democratic will of the Cypriot people, did not, do not, and will not in the future provide a solution to the Cyprus Problem.
The Cyprus Problem is the problem that Cyprus has with Turkish expansionism against our island, and the problem will be solved only when the Turks accept the freedom and self-determination of Cyprus. Until that happens we will continue to fight for our rights in our own homeland.
Action 1: Contest the negative aspects of the Constitution
And it was full of them, since it was created by foreigners to serve their own interests. Not what Cypriots wanted.
Action 2: Repudiate the Treaty of Guarantees
Which the Cypriot people never wanted imposed on their island.
Action 3: Self-determination
Which the Cypriot people had every right for. We have every right to be free from British or Turkish foreign rulers.
Action 4: Apply to the Greek Government for union of Cyprus with the rest of the Greek world
If this was the result of a democratic referendum, expressing the will of the majority of Cypriot people, then why not?
So whats the problem here? Apparently the problem for the foreign rulers and their Cypriot collaborators, is that the Cypriot people want their freedom and self-determination!!!!
what a crime indeed!! Maybe they should have done to Makarios what they did to Kyprianos for even thinking about the freedom of the Cypriot people?
During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the Ottoman authorities feared that Greek Cypriots would rebel again.

It is amazing how some idiots are trying to blame the Cypriots because Cypriots wanted their self-determination!!
