At a time when both communities want a settlement, and on an emotional day for all who are Cypriots, what is the actual point of this thread, if not to incite more hatred.
By the way, does anyone know if this Sun reporter was at my mums villlage of Sandallar some time around August 74. I'd really like to see his account of what went on. Do you think he would use these words ?
BARBARIANS.......
Earlier today two threads were started by Gabira and by Halil propagandising about Celebrations. This thread, which I started are a reaction to those threads which were started first. Indeed I bit my tongue until a third one was started.
LB74 - I now look forward to your condemnation of Halil and Gabira and others who chose to rub the noses of those who lost loved ones on this forum for starting these Celebratory threads.
Bill, thanks for that and I condemn all and anyone who rubs the noses of those who lost loved ones.
Absolutely, no quarrel there.
What I don't do though is trawl thru each and every post on the Cyprob page especially on a day like yesterday (your headline made me look here). I neither have the time or inclination, especially on topics that are headed 20th July celebrations etc I know what they will contain, the papers are full of it, the media is full of it. If you felt provoked then your reaction is as expected.
Take it from me though that the TC's are grateful for the intervention that occurred in '74.
There is no doubt in any of our minds of what lay ahead for us after the coup. I know a lot will disagree but we were shit scared about the aftermath.
And without a shadow of doubt atrocities were carried out and many innocent souls were lost.
They are all resting in peace now.
