There is no such thing . Also EOKA fighters have not been elected by the people ... thats my point. Every article can generilise and presents the events according to the authors political viewpoint. Why only a minority backed the coup to overthrow Makarios and achieve ENOSIS? If the majority wanted ENOSIS then the majority would want ENOSIS after 1960. These were a minority terrorists and only a minoriy wanted Enosis.
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!
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?
