That would be pretty impossible considering the Junta were a foreign unelected power trying to topple the elected President of Cyprus and destroy the constitution. This would be Cypriots liberating their homeland from 35 years of occupation. You cannot even compare the two.

Somehow Deniz is confused about what the junta did...

Deniz is not confused.

It wasnt what they did that I was comparing. When the Junta came to power, to a lot of Greeks they were hero's. How they were despised later was my point.

That's rubbish Turkish propaganda Deniz .....

The junta did not represent any Greeks ... only the CIA!

Turkish Propaganda? dont think so. I never even read any Turkish papers prior to 74. I had been to Athens twice and that was the impression I got. Perhaps I was misled but I remember all the Zito Junta graffiti on the walls.

The Turkish propaganda is post-1974.

There was no "zito junta" by the majority of Greeks ... the majority kept stumph through fear! We stayed at my grans one summer, just outside Athens, and I remember her nimbly running across the room to un-tune the junta-Banned radio station I had found whilst playing ... such was the fear of the junta by the normal Greek population!

Christos,

With all do respect, your post is absolutely irrelevant to my point. I can point out one inaccuracy in your post though, most dislike EOKA B, not the original EOKA, whom I referred to. They are still seen as heroes and freedom fighters by the vast majority.

So you prefer getting drunk and going on facebook, rather than liberating your country. Fair enough. You basically don't care enough, which is what I suspected of many GCs. If that is the attitude of today's youth in Cyprus, let us agree to partition today and quit messing around.

Two things.
1) I wasn't talking about EOKA B...... ask Milti and Bana what they think of EOKA.
2) I was being a bit sarcastic, i do not have a facebook account.
I do like to drink. My fridge is filled with food, ehh, sadly no as i am currently starving. But it is filled with Amstel beer. Oddly enough, i also like Barcardi Breezer tropical lemon and watermelon flavors. Oh, how can i forget about Goldschlager, its got that cinnamoni taste to it and tiny flakes of real gold! It is real gold, right

Perhaps I misrepresented my case. In any case, I dont think that GR will be remembered as a hero of the Cypriot people.(if any are left...tongue in cheek).

Christos,

Bana is a rare breed. You won't find many that agree with his views. He supported the Annan Plan for example. As far as I am aware, Milt is a supporter of the original liberation struggle of EOKA. I may be wrong on this. How can you hate EOKA? Those that gave their lives for your freedom today. In any event, it does not alter the fact that the vast majority are certainly very proud of EOKA, even if those two aren't. Just ask the majority of GCs on this forum.

The right wingers had nothing to fear from Junta. Their problem was with the left wingers and non-greek minorities.

Left wingers were looking for freedom under the wings of mother Russia not under the claws of a fascist Greek monarchy.

The sad thing about Turkey is that Greece has moved on from them days; Turkey is still fascist.

Anybody else who supports simon's idea of starting a guerilla warfare? So far we have two volunteers, sotos and Yialousa. Christos 1 has chickened out. He does not think it is a good idea because many GC's will not follow suit.

Chicken ehh? No, don't call me a chicken (sign). I guess mentioning that British small wars website touched a nerve with you. Now why is that? Because its something you would say to a son of EOKA.

Bananiot, in this silly hypothetical war we are discussing in this thread; who would i need to fear most? Being shot from the front or from the back from you and your circle of brothers:

http://www.mtraks.com/artist/haji_mike/ ... -vragaman/




Disturbing isnt it? How did Vragaman ever sell more than 10 copies is beyond my comprehension. Hey, im not judging, im just saying.

I didnt get to finish my previous comment and would like to do so now.

War is not the answer as it would play into Turkish hands. Frankly, war should never be the answer. It would scuttle the progress that the RoC has made. Significant progress. We would lose more land and a partition, one that is given more land to the Turks, would be the end result. I can hear Bana thinking, what significant progress? Despite having lost one third of land to a foreign invader, despite a huge refugee problem that arose after the invasion. Despite it all, Cyprus is now a prosperous island. So much so that people like you, Banianet, have left your UK ghetto to come here and grace us with your presence.

That is not enough for Bananiot. He would like to recreate that ambient atmosphere he used to live in, the one he failed to succeed in, and reproduce it here for us village idiots. One may ask, if it was so great, why did he leave?

When the Annan plan 6 roles in and PM Brown starts endorsing the plan ..... i assure you all that Bananiot will once again look down upon us, lecture us, and yell, havent you heard what the British PM said? Its a great plan!

[yialousa1971]

Wow, its six now, get the G3's ready.

When the war starts we will tell you the opposite of what we are going to do. Then you will give your Turco friends the wrong info, we will win and you will be a hero for being a traitor.

[Bananiot]

Son of EOKA! Son of a bitch, this EOKA killed three times more GC's than british soldiers and on top destryed the aspiration of GC's for union with Greece and you still dream of it Christos 1.

And the "silly war thread" is also hilarious because, among else, the lunatics that propose war have pre determined the number of our casualties in this war. Twenty thousand is their maximum and if the Turks dare kill one more, we will denounce them to the ECHR and all the bodies of the UN etc. Perhaps we might consider dropping a bomb on Ankara, to show them a thing or two.

The only war we will embark on is against the war mongers who contemplate seriously how to quench the eternal thirst for blood of the minautor they harbour in their black souls. That is, if we take them seriously ...
