No need to get carried away now! The Sandalaris killings accounted for less than 70 people, not that the number makes it any less disgusting, but "hundreds", "buried alive" is a mite exaggerated.
Oh NO! Please do not make me go over this again (have done it in this forum 2-3 times already; the stage is the same but the actors keep revolving like a very long Broadway musical).
The massacres you refer to had happened more than just Sandallar (I belive in 3 places but can only recall Atlılar as the other one at this time). They exclude the TCs buried with your GC comrades in Limassol area - as confessed by one of your GC priests! I am sue I have kept the article somewhere in my computer folders. If you insist I shall be happy to quote it for you.
But all this is beside the point. The point I was trying to make is - why constantly blame the TCs for things that the GC had also been actively carrying out for decades? I can dig out the civilian casualty figures for 1963-64 and later too. Unfortunately, a lot of GC civilians also had to suffer during these times .
But the question you should ask is "who initiated these attacks and why?". I am absolutely sure that you will find it was the fanatic GCs lead by EOKA-B leadership on each occasion. So what is it exactly GCs blaming the TCs for? You go and poke/wound a sleeping young neighbor and get hurt as a result, because his brother decides to pick up his shotgun and shoot your balls off!
The day when GCs stop looking for excuses by misleading historic facts and recognise TCs as their equal, will be when a solution may be possible. Until then it is nothing more than mud slinging and verbal abuse between members of both comunities...
What exactly are you putting forward ? Are you suggesting that the G/C extremists who committed this vile acts are more blood thirsty than the T/C extremists who committed equal vile acts. We have covered this issue hundreds of times. The guilty were the extremists , the misguided nationalists who had Greece or Turkey as their motherland. These were the bastards who caused these hideous crimes not your average decent morally orientated T/C or G/C .
I agree with you all the way and have no arguments there.
What I am putting forward is with reference to the same extremist idiots in this forum who create posts (as was the case earlier in this thread) displaying the TCs attacking poor GCs over the same decades - and look at the reaction of the ignorant peasant who now wants me to educate him in historic facts, after claiming the statement "hundreds of TCs were buried using earth diggers" is outrageous!
I just remembered why I gave up these arguments and log on to Cyprus-Forum once every 3-4 months. Good luck Miltiades...
It was Murataga, Atlilar and Sandallilar, 200 women, children and old men were killed. One survied to tell the tale. All the young men were taken away just before by the GCNG.
Just for the record
