Did EOKA go over to Britain to shoot this wife of a British officer?
No!
She was here as part of the Colonial occupying force!

So that makes it ok then ? shooting a woman in the back? How many "pesky" Cypriots were murdered by their fellow countrymen? And your son is british too? so if hes picked on or beaten up it wont matter because hes from the country that occupied Cyprus 50 years ago? A time when you were not even born.
they say its a fine line between genius and madness - i know what side of the line you are on...

how about you try shooting in the back some of the colonial occupying force in the north .....

Dictionary definition of 'fled'

To run away, as from trouble or danger


No idea if the word 'fled' is derived from Greek lol!

In February, 1954, Archbishop Makarios visited Athens and persuaded the Greek Government to place the Cyprus question before the United Nations. While in Athens, he laid the foundation for the organization of the Island’s national resistance and as a result EOKA, “National Organization of Cyprus Fighters”, was formed.

On August 20 of the same year, Greece submitted a petition to the United Nations requesting the application of the principle of self-determination to the people of Cyprus. After that, the colonial Government of Cyprus enforced the anti-sedition laws for the purpose of preventing or suppressing demonstrations for freedom; but the Archbishop defied them and continued demanding self-determination for Cyprus.

In October 1955, he started meetings with the Governor of Cyprus, Field-Marshal Sir John Harding, (later Lord Harding of Petherton) with whom he discussed the future of the Island. The talks, which continued until March 1956, did not result in agreement. As a consequence, Archbishop Makarios was exiled to the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean on March, 9, 1956.

On the 28th March 1957, the Archbishop was released from exile on the condition that he should not return to Cyprus. He went to Athens where he was accorded a triumphant welcome by the people of Greece.

During the following two years he attended the General Assembly of the United Nations where the Cyprus question was discussed and worked hard to achieve freedom for his peop
