Welcome to the forum DTA.
Great post!

I agree a TC should start a similar topic for the GC side if he is interested to learn something more.

I totally agree with your BETRAYAL factor. It was a fact indeed.

Now if you want a little explanation for that (without this meaning that it is excused) this is why: ALL Eoka members were under oath on the holy bible that they would serve the national cause. This meant they had to sacrifice everything including brothers, sisters, friends, EVERYTHING for the national cause. If I could draw a parallel it is the same story like the one you celebrate at the bayram of holy sacrificies, when God ordered Imbrahim to kill his son. Relegion and oaths my friend lead to paranoia. It is not only TC friend those people killed. Some killed their own family members, even friends, even other Eoka mrmbers for whom they had information they became traitors.

See it in this context. I can assure you no normal GC is betraying his friends today. But it happened then, under the conditions I told you, besides in the 50s GCs were very very relegious.
Makarios also took the oath of Eoka...

You raised a lot of questions in the end of your message I m sure many others will reply.

Thank you again for contributing. GREAT POST!

NB. The vast majority of GC police were ex-Eoka fighters.

EOKA was active between 55-59. Do not confuse this group of patriots that fought against the English with any extremist groups that followed later.

DTA, I was wondering if your grandfather was still alive, I'd like to ask you to ask him something, thanks.

The extremist groups that followed later were by vast majority ex-Eokas. Are we going to fool ourselves now that they weren't?

I will try again. Its not the detailed one I thought it was. I will get there; if not I will re-type it.

Deniz you said you were 18, Bir and Kikapu were much younger then. So I guess you must have had a lot of first hand experience to tell the forum.

Reh are you the oldest person in here??

Exinda thessera. Still young.

Does it vibrate as it used to?
I started worrying about my tool. Hope it makes it to 64 or i'd rather die :lol::lol:

I would recommend a new bike, it does wonders for the old tool and it's receptor.

Now you are talking my language. Follow the untouchables. It will take you to the root of the problem.

The only alternative you have is an operation called strapadicktome. Ask Oracle she knows all about it.
