More distortion.
Ethnically cleanse - yes
Murder - no
death during war - yes
How useful is the passive tense.
People just rolled over and died, then? On such a massive scale? Some GC-specific bacterial plague ripped through Cyprus, the summer of 1974, whilst the Turkish troops were 'peacefully' engaged in 'life-saving' operations, huh?
Perhaps a case can be made against using the word "murder" during war-time, even of civilians. But, in this instance, a far more appropriate, and accurate, term would have to be
slaughter!
