His name is Suat Huseyin Kafandar and on August 14 1974 he was one of the 84 TC's rounded up by GC nationalists in the village of Tochni. The super patriots executed these hapless villagers but Suat was very lucky to escape when they left him for dead. He was injured by fragments of a bullet. He run to the British Bases from where he went to the occupied parts. However, the whole of his family was lost in the hands of the barbarians.
Last week Suat spoke to the "Cyprus Times" and this is what he said:
"I voted for solution in 2004. I have never taught my children to hate and I can live with GC's"
For all you fanatics out there. Is there any lessons your thick skulls can learn from Suat? Are there any humane feelings left inside of you that Suat's story can touch?
People like Suat can be found in the GC community too. These people constitute the only reason for any hope that remains that one day we can all live happily together in a Bicommunal, Bizonal and Federal Cyprus. I wish it could have been a United Cyprus, but the fanatics from both sides have taken good care of that. The irony is that they are now calling for a unitary state but this simply shows the extend of their fanaticism, for those of us that know these fascists.
