Of course, similar stories are told for the other side. In this case, most of the killings were done after July 1974. I need to tell of my experience when we buried my next door neighbour, named Kkitros, some two years ago, after his bones were identified by DNA testing. Sevgul was at the funeral, as well as other Turkish Cypriots that lost loved ones in the same treacherous manner. The grandson of Kkitros, spoke at the funeral. He sent some powerful messages for all of us. We should bury the skeletons, he said, come out clean. Declare war on war and live peacefully and happily in this country of ours.
Trying to apportion blame does not help, but if we have to remember one thing, is the murderous face of chauvinism that poisoned the minds of many people to the point of committing cold blooded murder.
May all the merdered Cypriots rest in Peace.
May they all rest in peace, and hope that it never happens again.
Yes definitely may they all rest in peace...
... but are we really going to allow the murderous thugs to live in peace?
Each and every single one of the murdering scum would be brought before the courts if I had my way.
