Any independent history book or notes of the time will tell you that what you have been told is utter lies. I have had this conversation put to me so many times and when the other party (often a British citizen) actually studies real history they are staggered at the truth. A Greek Cypriot History book in school has very few pages for the period 1960 to 1974 yet independent books have many chapters.............I wonder why. As I said before nobody is in denial that Greek Cypriots died in 1974, but as with all other GC's you certainly are in denial (or don't know) about the murderous events of the 60's particularly 1963. I will post no further comment as I know you won't accept the FACTS unless you take an independent view.I too at one time hated everything the North stood for, but managed to study the subject and it opened my eyes along with many others.
In that case quote the texts and references to back up your incredible claims. Without evidence your comments are worthless. Quoting the Genocide Files will reduce your credibility even further.
Eric Baby, see the official GC History book and ask yourself one very simple question. Whay is there so little information on the years 1960 to 1974.
You keep going on about links. Really there more to life than the internet. Do you reaaly expect to find links to murderers activities especially when they were untouchables? The roc is guilty as sin and Muhtaro X saying sorry from the side of his mouth is just compounding the situation to the nth degree. Now, where is may percentage calculating gavuruis today to work out the percentage accuracy of this situation.
Both sides massage the facts to suit their own position but independent credible references show the objective view, which is always going to be closer to reality than a partisan version of events. Sources and links are crucial to the debate.
So if there are no links we can say it did not exist, right?
If there aren't links then it could just be because the reference hasn't been put on the Net. The Christopher Hitchens book (Cyprus - Hostage to History) is full of stuff that isn't online but it's an excellent, well researched and properly sourced text.
