Dont get upset too much, though there are a few honest GCs around who do know the truth and tell and still some who fear to tell it because the fear of being labelled a traitor. I for one know and tell the truth and I fear no one. If I die telling the truth - so be it.
Let me ask you a question Deniz. I think i can trust you to give me an honest answer.
Is it true that a lot of TCs (if not the majority of them) have the habit /or have been trained through imitation, of repeating hearsay stories of the past and present them as if they are personal experiences?
Hi my friend. An honest answer is I can only talk for myself. There is no way I can vouch for others' personal experience though there are a few I can trust. I trust Bir, Kiks (I know of his experience - I was there), I trust Yfred too, but his 'sense of humour' clouds his statements and confuses people. Nevertheless, some people are prone to exagerate, I have no doubt of that.
On more than one occasions GCs took pot shots at me early in 1964 from Ledra Palace hotel. Bored armed men are prone to do that, so I have no doubt this also happened around Lurucina or any other village. I worked for the SYS and saw the dead come in on a daily basis by UN helicopters near Kyrenia gate/Nicosia. I dont think they commited suicide. Doubtless, TCs have also taken pot shots too.
Thanks Deniz
Surely you meant to say Tanks. That's what was parked outside Goshi in 74.
I wasnt there Yfred. Did the tanks fire shots. If they did, they still took pot-shots with tank fire. My apologies.
No Deniz. The Tanks were lined up in Goshi to fire on Lurucina in 74. They were not about to take pot shots. They had every intention of flattening Lurucina. I don't know how many thanks were there but after TAF wiped most of them out, 2 ended up in Lurucina, there to this day on the hill top visible from Larnaka Lefkosha road.
Surely there must be some records somewhere as to what the GC army was up to in 74. Do they not have a 30 year rule of FOI. Surely this information must be available from their mod. What their intention was and how they lost the lot to TAF. And thank god that they did otherwise they would have killed 4500 in one go.
Damn, of course I forget, GCs do not kill whole villages, do they?
