palio ,
than compare the TC's and GC's gun powers before the invation .
many times in this forum it has been asked to TC's why the TC's did not resists against the ''invaders.'' to ask this question looks most of you does not know anything about 74 .
as soon as couped has been done most of the TC's were infear. What will happened . Speacial occasione was given ..... red alerts in TC's enclaves.
at 20 july 1974 morning as soon as landing started all the TC's enclave areas put under the heavy cannon and tanks fires .These places were Hamidmandrez , Gönyeli ,Boğaz ,Ağırdağ ,Pınarbaşı ,Göçeri and Dağyolu.
All the villages were under the heavy gun fires .It is easy for you to confirm this information from your fathers or uncles who were at that top of the fivefingers mountains or villages of Aymarina ,Yılmazköy ,Alayköy and area of Nicosia airport . I belive same actiones has been done at same times in Paphos ,Larnaka ,Limassol and Famagusta areas too .
And you are telling me no TC'S has been get killed under this fires . Just they have been captured for exchange purposes ..... We weren't at moon at time .....
Lots of things happened in Cyprus SİRS.....It did happened to Greek Cypriots and it did happened to Turkish Cypriots too ..... By trying hiding the truths does not help at all ....It does not help to me or to you ....
fortunatly for me i was born in 83 way after th einvasion the year trnc was declared a seperate state...
so as you can imagine i only know from what books and what i am told.. or read
or actual videos fromt he war but i am sure the videos dont tell half as much as actually having been alive and in cyprus before/during/after the war
