What a romantic spin you put on this tale, to glamorise "TC students".
They were
soldiers fighting for Turkish interests.
And what evil onlookers to a slaughter you do portray the GCs as being.
The Kokkina area is remote and has always been poorly populated ... so how long would it take for any number of GC civilians to group together after hearing there was going to be a "slaughter"?
Most GC civilians were afraid of TCs at that time, and demoralised by Turkish bombings to go anywhere near a battle scene.
They were lining up BEFORE the bombs started to fall,dear lady...I heard about this at the time in Cyprus...Bananiot has confirmed it...There was nothing romantic about these students...They were desperate people doing desperate things...They should never have been allowed to...And they shouldnt have had to...
Yes it was all very well planned in
advance (since the 50's) and executed. Not students, but soldiers! So don't pretend they were heroes, but
invaders, TCs or no TCs, they were invaders trying to destroy the Constitution and the Cypriot government to enable Turkey to fulfil her partitionist plans.
We have the
outcome today!
The Constitution and the Cypriot government were already destroyed a few months earlier by the president Makarios himself, who drove the TCs out of government and into enclaves where they struggled to survive for 11 years...Take your blinkers off and allow some of the real events enter your brain..But i know it is more comfortable for you to stew in your hatred and bitterness of all things Turkish...
Makarios made proposals that would make the constitution more fair.
And you can not blame the GCs exclusively for TCs going into enclaves. Here is what Denktash said in 64:
"We wish to establish a federal administration in Cyprus. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to move a portion of the Turks from one place to another place and to concentrate our people in certain parts of the island"
The partition plan was created in the 50s and the Turkish side didn't stop for a moment working on it. This continues until today, and the "solution" they want is one that not only will be a disguised partition, but one that can allow them a complete partition in the future.
Here is what retired Turkish diplomat İlter Türkmen said:
"The Annan Plan had various flaws and was difficult to implement. If the plan could have been shown to be unworkable our basic aim of two states could have been achieved more easily, because it would have been necessary to find a formula within the EU. Just as Czechoslovakia was divided into two it would have been possible to divide Cyprus into two separate states."
