No of course it gave us no such rights. It is however a clear example of Makrios ignoring legality with which to refute Piratis' absurd claim that 'GC did nothing that was not 100% legal'.
It also shows how absurd the argument that if TC had issues with the behaviour of GC leadership they should have gone to courts to settle them. They did go to court. Makrios refused to abide by the couts decisions and said that is what he would do before the court had even ruled. This led to the resignation of Professor Ernst Forsthoff, the then and last ever neutral judge of the supreme consitutional court of the RoC.
In an interview Mr Forsthoff gave to UPI on the 30th Dec 1963 he said
"All this [outbreak of communal violence in Cyprus] happened because Makarios wanted to remove all consitutuional rights from the Turkish Cypriots. From the moment Makarios started to openly deprive the Turkish Cypriots of their rights, the present events were inevitable."
Then again what could an internationaly respected neutral professor of law and former judge of the supreme consitutional court of the RoC know about such things compare to Che Pirtatis. Clearly the man was an inperialist lackey of the British dogs, placed in Cyprus by them to spread lies and flasehoods against the noble and long suffering GC people. That Makrios agreed his appointment should in no way imply that he was anything other than this, for we all know that the visionary Makarios, so ahead of his times, could 100% legaly ignore any rulings that the court under this man made at will.
Erolz is bothered with the 100% legal thing when what they are doing is 100% illegal Even if what we did was 99% legal that is still infinity more legal than what they did and do!
