He wasn't attempting to climb a flagpole was he ?

No but he's now sitting on one.

A young man was murdered in a series of political crimes which can be very much affecting the future of this island and your contribution is pure irony . Why ?

It's times like this we must pull together. Let's learn from the past, such as when Sparta and Athens united to protect their freedom from foreign attacks.

If Papadopoulos' grave-robbers are linked with this other attack on freedom; then it can only be the friends of Turks wishing to divide us and rile people against our government and each other.

Let's concentrate on removing the Turks and their troops from our island and not be dissuaded from this path for the only true freedom ....

Who could these "friends of Turks" be? Are you suggesting non-Cypriots or possibly Cypriots that want partition?

Obviously, any enemies of freedom-seeking Cypriots.

Editorial

It maybe quick, and some might say its irresponsible to point fingers, but is Turkey trying to destablise the Republic of Cyprus and provoke a "casus belli" in order to do what Turkey is good at, exporting its internal problems and unite its population, on a nationalistic cause.

Last night Andy Hajicostis the owner of Cyprus's largest media group Dias Media Group, was gunned down outside of his home in the Engomi area of Nicosia, near the US Embassy. Assassinations of politicians, and journalists are not something that occurs in Cyprus, period. But in Turkey assassinations are much more common place; 16 November 2007 İhya Balak the head of the Turkish National Lottery, was assassinated in his office by an ex-inspector of his directorate. Hrant Dink, Armenian-Turkish journalist and editor-in-chief of the weekly Armenian and Turkish language newspaper Agos in Istanbul was shot dead in front of his newspaper's officeon 19 January 2007. Mustafa Yücel Özbilgin a state member judge was murdered on 17 May 2006 during a session in the high court in Ankara. In 2002 Necip Hablemitoğlu a Kemalist historian from Ankara University was killed in an armed attack near his home in Ankara was assassinated 18 December 2002.


The Dias Media Group, its flagship newspaper Simerini, one of Cyprus leading daily newspapers, was and has been consistently against the adoption of the UN sponsored Annan Plan by the Greek-Cypriots. Could this have been the motive for Turkish sponsored agents to go out and murder Hajicostis? At present sources close to the victim have said that they have no knowledge of any "underworld" vendettas against him, and according to many in Cyprus Hajicostis had good relations with all the main political parties in Cyprus.

The assassination of the Andy Hajicostis, follows the bizarre theft of the corpse of the former President Tassos Papadopoulos, another anti-Annan campaigner. The corpse has not been found, foreign intelligence agencies are believed to be helping the Republic of Cyprus find the ex-presidents body. In summary intelligence sources contacted by the London Daily News indicate that there has been a sustained and co-coordinated attempt by Turkey in Cyprus to "mix things up".

There is deep anger in Turkey, that a mere 600,000 Greek-Cypriots can veto Turkey's hopes from ever becoming an EU member state. The hatred amongst Turks for the way in which the "Greek-side" are always being given carrots cannot be under-estimated.

Today the media world in Cyprus is in mourning for the life of Andy Hajicostis, but will the assassination of a media mogul lead to a total breakdown of talks between President Christofias and Mr Talat, which will in effect give the green light to a formal partition of the island? Time will tell, but this murder must not be allowed to stop the peace talks, and as in Northern Ireland with the Iris Robinson scandal, the so called "peace dividend" is far more important, and should be remembered before knee-jerk reactions take place.

If Turkey has sanctioned the murder of Andy Hajicostis, then once again the Turks have shown to the international community their true colours.

Interesting find Oracle. Lets just hope the police finds the evidence so the true criminals are found behind this hit.
