The village of Koma tou Yialou, for example, where EOKA murdered three leftist youth, was bigger in ... London than in Cyprus and guess what, the vast majority were AKEL supporters.
People were driven to exile DT by the murdering fanatics that some years later destroyed Cyprus.
Bananiot, I never said they all were traitors. From the ones that had left I objected to you painting a rosey picture of all leftists sitting under trees, reading Das Kapital to beautiful TC and GC children while bloodthirsty guerillas who wanted nothing more than the deaths of their compatriots run around the countryside torching all that they saw.
Grigoris Afxentiou, Evagoras Pallikarides and Giorgos Kaisis were not these animals you wish to portray. And Ezekias Papioannou was not the innocent idealists you wish to paint his kind as.
There were leftists wearing black hoods that had finger pointed 17-18 year old kids into jail or the hangman. Face it, deal with it and accept it.
