Thanks YFred...
He wrote about the looting of a Christian orthodox church; and so they killed him; and his killers have never brought to trial.
That's disturbing enough.
What was the reaction? Were there protests? Demands for justice? Press inquiries? Journalists demanding answers about the murder of one of their own? Or has the whole thing simply been brushed under the carpet and forgotten about it... because that's how it goes in the north.
That to me is even more disturbing.
OK, a bit more education. At the time I think the Prime minister was Eroglu. Unfortunately the Police in TRNC are part of the Army, and Army is run by Turkish General, and yes it was hashed up and the killer was never found. There are also around about 35 writers and newspaper reporters who have also been killed in Turkey who's killers were never found. There were some protests but nothing came out of them because of the above simple fact.
Until we can remove the Police from the Army control, not very much can be done I am afraid. So hurry up and have a deal will ya.
If you really want to find out about real heros that put up a fight for Cyrpus and was murdered in the attempt, find out about Kavazoglu and Mishauli, who gave each other one last hug as they were being shot. Those two people are the real heroes of Cyprus.
