Couldn't you just read the link you got the above info from?

[Paphitis]

And his wife, married his koumbaros, after he was assasinated. Read Makarios Droushiotis book on this one, there are some interesting revelations.

Give it your best shot Bananiot... it's the kind of (useless) thread you thrive in.

Stupid or not, I have a right to open this thread, so that I can find out what people's perceptions are of this very interesting figure in Cypriot history.

I have this right!

I also want to know what the TC perceptions are about Yorgadjis!

No! The whole idea is to find out what peoples perceptions are!

Reading from a link is easy, but I am interested in matters far deeper, such as the Akritas Plan, his unusual relationship with Makarios, Tassos Papadopoulos, why he turned etc

I also want to talk about certain rumours about his assassination.

Apologies for the scene Bananiot.

Please feel free to post more information about Yorgadjis, because admittedly, I don't know everything about him, apart from what I have read from a wikipedia site. I have heard many things about him from third party sources, and want to know more about these revelations mentioned by Droushiotis.

This forum should be about learning something new, and so, please feel free to add whatever you like about Yorgadjis, good or bad!

Now fuck off, dickhead!

What you need is a good thumping because your stupidity has gone uncontrolled lately…

Listen, you have gone way past your authority and you audacity is amazing. I have the right to be opening any thread I like, and for whatever reason.

If you want to thump me, then I would be very happy to meet you. We will see how brave you are then!

But you’re only 5ft Paphits… we saw your picture!

Daft little wimp!

And you are just an idiot.

So what’s the latest this week… are you back to being “Greek” again, perhaps a Spartan queen, or are you Aphrodite’s gay shopping friend this time?

No mate! I am Cypriot, just like you, and want to learn some new things.

Oh, and I don't behave like a lunatic or ruin people's threads!

It seems there is something you don't want to be revealed. Immature slut!

Bit pre-occupied later, so if discussion turns to our Annual Akritas Plan Pollocks Debate ..... here's the UN ref to the undisputed, independent verification that the Plan existed ......

The Infamous, UN A/33/115-S/12722 document,.... which oh dear!... which ... seems to be no more than a letter signed by a certain Rough Donktosh! ........... and no matter how hard have tried to find the Plan lodged at the UN, keep going round in circles, and more circles .... and with every circle leading back to Rough's letter.

Papadopoulos married the wife of Yiorgatzis and this is a fact even GR and DT cannot deny. Rumours were ripe back then that Photini was his mistress long before Yiorgadjis was assassinated.

Photini was a beautiful young woman and on top she was very wealthy and well educated. I met her once when I was about 11. I was playing with some kids of my age by the side of the main (old) Famagusta- Nicosia road when an armoured vehicle of the National Guard broke down just where we were playing. These were the tanks we brought from the Soviet Union to face the "Turkish mutiny" and a possible Turkish invasion. The crew were all Greek and the way they spoke was very amusing for us kids since we hadn't heard spoken Greek Greek before. The soldiers tried hard to get the vehicle started but to no avail. Suddenly a car pulled over and out stepped Yiorgadjis with his beautiful wife. She was dazzling. What's up boys, he asked the soldiers, who duly explained to him the problem. Yiorgadjis said to them that he would drive to Lefkoniko, that is the nearest village with telephone services, to ask for help. In those days many people believed that Yiorgadzis was basically illiterate and that Papadopoulos (his koumbaros) wrote speeches for him.

Yiorgadzis turned against Greek dictator Colonel Papadopoulos when the latter tried to work out an understanding with Turkey that would put an end to enosis and push the cyprob to solution. He thus helped Greek army deserter Alexandros Panayoulas, instead of arresting him, when he was tipped that Panayoulas was in Cyprus. He took him under his wings and trained him on explosives. Panayoulas returned to Greece secretly and put a road bomb destined for Papadopoulos. He stupidly could not see the approaching car carrying the dictator when he detonated the bomb. Papadopoulos escaped and Panayoulas was rounded up. During interrogation he spat everything and Yiorgadzis's involvement was revealed. The other dictator Demetris Ioannides, the army strong man, whom Yiorgadzis (and Koutsou and other bash patriots) favoured for his tough stance on Turkey and pro enosis jargon, was waiting in the wings to take over. He did so after the November 1973 events at Athens Polytechnic and he ousted Papadopoulos. However, Papadopoulos took his revenge on Yiorgadzis in 1970 when he deployed his henchmen in Cyprus to assassinate him.

Papadopoulos had asked Makarios to sack Yiorgadzis after the failed attempt on his life. Makarios had no option but to do so. Yiorgadzis couldn't believe his ears when Makarios told him that he was no more the Interior Minister. Yiorgadzis went berserk and suddenly became a lethal enemy of Makarios who he supported with all his strength until then. On three occasions Yiorgadzis planned assassination attempts on Makarios who on at least one occasion survived by sheer luck. When Makarios sacked Yiorgadzis, he thought of giving the ministry to Hadjicostis (Dias) but he changed his mind at the last minute. Until today, Hadjicostis holds this against him and he was the man that printed in his paper (Simerini) in 1974, that the coup against Makarios was a necessity.

These are some of the politicians that ruled the plantation from 1960 onwards and conformists all around us cannot summon enough courage to spit them in the face for what they have done to this island. Instead they blame the "bloody foreigners" who fall asleep and wake and only scheme on how to destroy us.

Bananiot,
The TC belief was that Yorgadjis was the most fanatical EOKA member,and later on ,as minister for Interiror,he was the operational head of the EOKA remnants...He was thus despised and feared...Do you believe this was the case???
