These nonsense that a killing spree was taking place is just that , nonsense. Not one single T/C killed , attacked maimed or hurt in any way. In 1974 just before the coup and the Turkish invasion , I was in Famagusta on holiday. Witnessed T/Cs coming out of the walled city of Famagusta to attend their daily chores in the RoC controlled areas. There was no violence at that time.
What pure nonsense... Go sell this shit to others, it just won`t do with us. During those 6 years TCs were completely ejected from the government, the constitution of the state was almost completely altered under the auspices of the "doctrine of necessity", an armed GC gang called the "national guard" was formed and operational (in complete contravention to the original constitution) by the GCs and was being harbored by the "RoC" government, TCs were confined into enclaves and those that came out needed to submit to the authority and decisions of a 100% GC government and additionally to the control of GC military and police. Let me also remind you that this is a period when your elected leader Makarios is on official record for stating that he would not move forward with the talks with us unless the option for ENOSIS is explicitly incorporated into the constitution of the RoC in any agreed settlement.
There are virtues which we consider more dear than our lives.
