Mikiko, grow up!

EOKA existed, was well supported by the majority of GCs and their ideal for ENOSIS was purely a way of polarizing most Greek Cypriots behind a campaign to rid Cyprus from British Colonialism!

I'm not happy that you are disgracing the memory of our fallen! :twisted:


He raises an important point was their a referendum?


There was a referendum, and something like 90% voted in favour for the struggle to remove British Colonialism.

EOKA was a group of 300 Guerrillas supported by some 10,000 in various supporting auxiliaries.


I meant for independence rather than enosis?

Why don't you read the article I posted. Enosis with Greece was all about self-determination.

Enosis was illegal it was not a right of self determination especially when people have not been asked for.

ENOSIS was a means to polarize the GCs towards the struggle for self determination. The GCs had overwhelmingly voted in favour of that struggle!

There was no law that prohibited ENOSIS or self determination!

Yeah right.


What else do you expect you imbecile?

Do you think the GCs could have held an official referendum right under the British Army's nose?

In those days, just about ALL GCs attended Sunday Church, therefore, the only way to get most people's vote was through the Church.

So were all 5 votes counted then? and was there another person re counting to make sure?

I can't remember the true statistics. Something like 200,000 GCs voted.
