Its clear here that the notorious British dogma of divide and rule was in full swing.
Why divide and rule, Miltiades? EOKA began struggling for Enosis in 1955. TCs were against Enosis, beside a Greek-GC ruled Cyprus. Right? Under such circumstances, what's wrong with Brits recruiting TCs as police auxilaries? What's wrong with TCs who accepted to join British Police force to struggle against EOKA? What's wrong with establishment of TMT as a counter organization to EOKA?
Had there been no armed struggle between 2 underground organizations(I wish it didn't happen) and no Enosis/Taksim demands; there would have been still a problem.
As I always stated the essential of the problem is power sharing in Cyprus. TCs want equal power sharing on legislative and judicial bodies because all Turks and TCs r aware of that Hellenes haven't forgotten and forgiven 1453, 1571, 1974.
Our common past kills every possibility for TCs voluntarily accepting minority status or with ur words "equal citizenship" in Cyprus.
Keep considering ur EOKA fighters how u wish but don't forget that the leader of both EOKAs was the same man; even most probably vast majority of EOKA-B members were EOKA members.
Anyway, I hope at least u r aware of that no TCs accept EOKA as liberation fighters of Cyprus but maybe Kikapu and his like minded TCs; I'm not sre.

This is ur and ur leadership only dream; a part of Akritas plan.
Fabian Tactics: "Economically isolate them till they rebel against our enemies and help us free our country from Turks." Keep pursuing the same policy. Vast majority of TCs emigrated because of economic difficulties they faced in Northern Cyprus not because they were against Turkey and the so-called occupation army. Those TCs r angry with GC-Greek leadership and ur foreign backers.
If u reckon that ur foreign backers give support to ur cause and demands bcz of u r the rightful side; u r mistaken. They abuse one of ur weaknesses for their own interests. It is a fact that GC-Greek leadership like this mutual interests game. Do they care abt the GC refugees? No of course.
