I also realised something more disturbing...GC fanaticism is alive and well...And these people are still bitter about the events from 1571,their hearts and minds are poisoned with hatred and desire for revenge,and they will not rest till they make the hapless TCs of today pay for the real and imaginary sins of their ancestors...There are many good human beings amongst the GCs,but unfortunately,as history is the proof,it is the fanatics who rule the day and dictate what happenes in civil and ethnic conflicts like our own...I could not in possibly continue to beat my own side with a big stick,when my conscience told me they were the the misunderstood and ignored ones,the ones who needed and deserved my empathy and compassion more,under the circumstances...
You can dig up all my old posts all you like,they will only tell the forumers half the truth...The other half of the truth has to be rammed down your throats,as you are unable and unwilling to confess your own sins...And without that a just and lasting solution cannot be found...And without that all Cypriots will be big losers...The bells are tolling for YOU ,my friend...
Why are you getting all worked up?
I just found it pretty audacious for you to accuse us of…
“They are the GC fanatics who are responsible for the tragedy in Cyprus...”
…when you had self confessed to your family’s involvement while you were sleeping with the weapons cache!
You have no idea what you read do you GC fanatics like you......A specific accusation......I understood you Bir......These guys are so keen to defend the indefensible that they do not even take the time to understand what they are reading..
You are right ,Zan...That is why I no longer bother with responding to them most of the time...They see only what the chains and walls of their minds tell them to see...They still don't get it that TMT started as a desperate measure to counter the EOKA movement which was aiming to bring about ENOSIS with Greece...They will never understand how threatened the TC community felt at the time...They are so full of themselves and so brainwashed by their politicians and their church to realise the plight of the TCs from the 50s to 1974...And they will never accept that the wish for Enosis with Greece far preceeded the TC demands for TAKSIM...It is like talking to a brick wall...They won't listen to logic or history or even emotive appeals...They are hell bent of achieving Partition,as long as they wont have to treat the TCs as equals...
On their head be it...
