Im not very informed of the EOKA/B movements, cos im only young and have only really been told one side of the arguement.
I know EOKA was the main reason cyprus became independant, but wasnt their final goal to acheive enosis anyway? EOKA B to my understanding was the renewal of this, but just more violently etc...eventually leading to the invasion.
Whenever ive heard of Grivas, it has not been negative. My father constantly says he was an 'idiot' basically cos he was the reason we had the '63 troubles etc. and eventually the invasion.
It really gets me when i hear cypriots praising him and others etc... especially when it is over such a sensitive issue. It also really pisses me off when cyprus celebrates things like 25th march/OXI day, which are obviously nothing to do with cypriot history. Its like they dont want cyprus to be different from greece. Grrrr....we are a seperate country for gods sake. Ahhhh!!!! its so annoying
Cyprus needs a good overhaul of what it is and where it wants to go.... cos at the moment its not right.
