But 1974 PROVED beyond all doubt that the GCs were willing to fight and die to STOP Enosis.
GCs? Or a bunch of leftists that under then the circumstances had to postpone their Enosis dream because Greece was under the rule of anti-leftist dictators who sponsored the coup supposedly with a bunch of terrorists... Actually majority of NG was on their side and they were heavily armed to mercilessly destroy all the so-called resistance fighters in a few days...
Stop denying the obvious Nikitas... what's happened then? After the events of 1974, those "bunch of terrorists continued to threaten Makarios and put infront of him 10 conditions to accept or otherwise they would start a civil war...
Result? Makarios not only accepted their conditions but forgave all of them with an amnesty...
On 2/3 of Cyprus, GC community achieved political union with Greece which as a consequence of the events of 1974; returned to democracy...
Clap! Clap! Clap!
