The
document exists, if it didn't exist how would you copy and paste it here?
Beyond that, who wrote it and when is something we don't know.
What we know is that in
1957 (long before any "Akritas plan"), the
TC leader Fazil Kuchuk published "The Cyprus Question: A Permanent Solution", a document where he advocated the extermination of Greek Cypriots from the north part of Cyprus, in order to artificially create some Turkish state on the land stolen from us.
The fact is that although Cypriots had suffered a lot under the Turks for centuries, after the Ottoman rule ended, we forgave the Turks and we lived together in peace.
However in the 1950s while the Cypriot people had revolted against the new foreign ruler, the British, the Turks decided to attack us again in an attempt to deny again the self-determination rights from the Cypriot people.
This is what happened. The British and Turks collaborated and attacked the Cypriot people, and later forced on them the 1960 "agreements", and as the "Akrtitas plan" says, those agreements: "it was signed under pressure and without real negotiations and that it was imposed under various threats. "
The "Akritas plan" had only one aim: for the Cypriot people to gain back their self-determination rights which have been denied to them by the foreign invaders. There is nothing about "genocide" or anything else, and this is purely Turkish imagination and propaganda.
So we don't know who wrote the "Akritas Plan" but it could be just about any Cypriot, because all of us felt the injustice that our self-determination right was denied to us, and then we were forced and blackmailed to accept a constitution that was written by foreigners, and served the interests of those foreigners, and not the interests of the Cypriot people.
