How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Sener Levent Vs RIK

Postby Yiannis » Sat Jun 18, 2005 3:11 am

I dont know if anyone saw it but on Wed night on a RIK show Sener Levent was the guest. Basically the show went on with just questioning Levent about his life and what his beliefs are concerning the current situation and his opinion on the current leadership on the north.However the interesting part was at the end when Levent mentioned Akritas plan and that Papadopoulos' aim was to kill all tc in 72 hrs or smthing like that.However the RIK journalist interupted Levent to say that the time has run out and assured him that he would be glad to have a second show which will be devoted to this matter entirely and he will prove Levent that this is just propaganda. I saw this through CySat broadcast on the internet.I really want to see this debate, if indeed ever takes place, so let me know if anyone hears that it will be shown.

Personally i have no real knowledge on Akritas plan and i will persue finding sources about it in my free time. Any usefull links are welcome.

However in general what are your views about Sener Levent and do u believe that RIK is biased and controled by the goverment and to what extend.

Last hope for what?

Last hope of finding a TC that supports your point of view.


And whose view is he exactly supporting?
I read many of his articles and i dont think he is supporting anyone's side.

This is how the Sunday Mail saw the issue:

"A WORD of sympathy for those charming Eliades brothers, whose Wednesday night TV show did not go according to plan. Their guest was the maverick Turkish Cypriot journalist Sener Levent who is a bit of an unguided missile. The brothers Grimm have been around and should have known this, yet they still took the risk. Towards the end of the show, they decided to ask Levent about the notorious Akritas organisation, hoping that he would repeat the Cyprus government line on the group.

He let them down badly as he immediately linked the Ethnarch to it and accused the Organisation of targeting Turkish Cypriots. Considering that the only purpose of their show is to advertise the greatness of the Ethnarch and pillory anyone who dares criticise him, Wednesday night was a disaster. Kokos, who is the Ethnarch’s symbetheros, changed colour when Levent started saying things that were unflattering to the leader and cut him short, telling him that there was not enough time to discuss the issue properly. However, Kokos promised Levent to have a whole show devoted to the discussion of the Akritas organisation in the future. When in the future he did not say, but I am sure it will be very soon. We shall keep customers posted".

There is no doubt the TCs see the Akritas Plan as a plan targetting their annihilation. Whereas we many times said in the forum that if you read the Akritas plan there is no such indication it is clear the TCs feel we should not look at the "letter" of that plan but to the spirit at those times.
Sener Levent refers to the spirit. I would like indeed to hear him at another interview regarding this matter. He said a few words in his column t Politis the other day regarding the incident at his interview at RIK. I would like to hear more.
Because if Sener Levent says something, I trust him it is the truth. Thats why I respect him. Even when he talks against the GCs and against Papadopoulos he is a man I trust he is telling the truth.

Well, at least Levent doesn't support the occupation and TRNC.

However it sounds very hypocritical when some other TCs accuse all GCs and demand the punishment of all GCs because they claim that 40 years ago some GCs were thinking about the annihilation of TCs, when the ethnic cleansing the Turks performed against us is not just a "secret plan" or theory but it is a fact supported today but the majority of TCs!

Ethnic cleansing Greeks is not the same thing with ethnic cleansing Turks. Former was done by pushing people to other places, the latter done by simply killing.
