Lets now have the Eric Dayes version of events , let us now see other inflammatory stories let us make sure that hatred is nourished . Mr Author of this thread ., you are an irresponsible baffoon with highly damaging views to the Cypriot cause which must be the liberation of our island's occupied lands , the reunification of our island and the coexistence in peace of all Cypriots.
Turkey is highly unlikely to remove one single soldier for as long as there are people such as you who consider their duty , erroneously , the spreading of more hatred.
Just in case you misunderstand me , let me make it very clear. It was extremists such as you from both sides of the divide who were responsible for the horrific events that took place . I suggest you give YOUR COMPUTER back right now .
Your talking rubbish now Milti and your hatred towards GR is blinding you against the atrocities that were committed on this island from the peace loving turkish troops that came on this island to save us all. You know, the ones Dayi & Co tell us about day in and day out that we left our homes voluntarilly and not by the barrel of the gun. The lies that Gc crooks were pillaging the island while the tc's were only defending themselves.....how? By abducting families of civilians and placing them in front of a firing squad?
Politis writes today about the eye witness accounts of 4 tc's (2 in Kyrenia and 2 in Nicosia) who know what happened to the 17 people slaughtered at St Hillarion. They know who did it and some of these cross over to the south frequently. Should we close our eyes to all this? Should we close our eyes to the fact that 100's of tourists take pictures of the castle every day and underneath their feet lie buried 17 GC's in the bottom of a well?
THis isn't the way, the saga that the only evil committed against the GC's was the peace operation of 74 by Turkey and that all intercommunal fighting was done by EOKA B elements while the poor tc's were somply defending themselves must be brought out to the open. And you and the govt can brush this under the carpet all you like but the families of Sappouris and Liasis will remember how their relatives got wiped out.
We always say, there were bastards on both sides of he divide, how long are we going to excuse them for?
