The anniversary of the 2nd invasion is upon us. Turkey spat on the Treaty of Guarantee in the 1st invasion but took a match and lit it in the 2nd. The brutality and viciousness of the 2nd invasion that took 37% of the island and expelled 1/3 of the people of this island from their homes is still being uncovered today.

Turkish war crimes uncovered in mass graves in Cyprus

[Oracle]

Our "fellow" Cypriots the TCs have a lot to answer for too.

[humanist]

nope ...... they take no responsibility for anything

[bigOz]

Ten times as many TCs were murdered and buried in mass graves - and they were not soldiers either! All were women, elderly and infants (including new born babies). These were reported by French, British and German media as the crimes were unfolded by the UN.

Many mass graves in the South were recently admitted to be the work of EOKA-B and/or Greece supporters before the invasion...

I am all for war crimes tribunal and all that but, what is all the commotion about NOW? Why has no one taken the murdering fanatic Enosis supporting GCs and their leaders to a war crimes tribunal? Who will answer for the murders of innocent women and children because they were TCs? How many GC women and children were killed by the Turks or put in mass graves? (ZILCH!)

No Oracle! Our fellow Greek Cypriots have a lot more to answer for...

"Ten times as many TCs were murdered and buried in mass graves "

So why is Denktash stating less than 600 missing since 1963?

Are you suggesting that 45000 TCs were killed in itnercommunal clashes? Becaue Ecevit has stated in the Turkish media that if the GCs had agreed to his ultimatum of August 12 1974 "we would not have had to proceed with Attila II and kill 4500 people".

Are you serious?

Please read carefully! My numbers were comparing the number of people discovered in the mass graves in the article provided by the post.

The real question you should ask yourself is: Are you in denial of these murders inflicted on TCs? If you are not then I reiterate and expand my initial question:

Why has no one in Europe gone to a war crimes tribunal and/or made any efforts to punish the perpetrators of these crimes? What makes the GCs think that anyone should do more for them after 35 years, when nothing was done for the murdered TC civilians?

By the official Truly Legal, Truly recognised and Truly democtratic RoC no less. Shame on the lot of them.

[Nikitas]

No I am not in denial nor have refrained from calling the killings carried by GC arocities.

UN figures I have looked at in the past show that the numbers are about even during the intercommunal clashes of 1963-64 and totally out of proportion in 1974.

The mssing persons declared by each side are 1600 GC and 600 TC.

The war crimes tribunal tries crimes committed after its creation in the early 90s and it expressly excludes Americans from its jurisdiction. Some nations, among them Greece, had no problem in making all crimes, regardless of the time of commission actionable in the war crimes court. Others refused.

[Piratis]

The TCs and Turks killed WAY more GCs than the other way around. Most importantly all those people were killed in conflicts and wars which the TCs and Turks started.

The inter-communal conflict was started by the TCs in 1958:



And the war of 1974 was started by Turkey on the 20th of July.

If instead of attacking us the Turks accepted for the Cypriot people to democratically and peacefully choose the destiny of their own island among legitimate options, then there would be no conflicts and nobody would have died.

the transfer of GC's back to Turkey to prison.


Bombing of Nicosia


Ammochostos


Melconian School


Turkish air force Napalm victims.



Turkish paratroopers dropping from too high an altitude. Most of the Turkish casualties were because of this.
