A VIDEO of a young child wielding a gun and shouting fascist remarks that was posted on Facebook by his grandfather will be handed over to the Attorney-general’s office today by police, to see if it has broken any laws.

The video shows a child of about four being prompted by his Cypriot grandfather, who asks “Who are you going to shoot?” He then answers “Turks and communists.”

Hanging on the wall in what is believed to be the grandfather’s house is a small poster of the Greek military junta, who ruled a dictatorship in Greece from 1967 to 1974. “Where’s your junta?” the child is asked by the grandfather and the child then proceeds to knowingly point at the poster on the wall.

During the course of the one-minute video the child is asked repeatedly by his grandfather who he will shoot, until the child answers “Turks and communists” and then shouts “bam bam” while pretending to shoot something in front of him.

“Long live the junta,” the grandfather shouted on the video, “long live the junta,” the child repeated.

With these responses the grandfather answered pleased, “well done my boy, my Greek.”

The video was originally posted on the grandfather’s Facebook profile page about two weeks ago accompanied by the comment “upholder of our Greek-Christian ideologies,” in reference to the child. A second shorter video, entitled “national debt” was also posted the same day starring the same child with the comment “my brave boy.”

According to the grandfather’s profile page, three people commented that they “liked” the video, titled “upholder of our Greek ideologies.”

According to national broadcaster CyBC, the name of the user is known so it is not possible that someone has tried to make him look guilty.

Both videos were removed yesterday evening from the Facebook user’s profile page.

Army officer from Cyprus comments:
And by the way,i see not much racism in the video.
The boy first sings the anthem of the army.Nothing wrong with that.
Them he says he will shoot Turks.Excuse me but is it just my idea or do 50000 Turkish soldiers and 500 tanks still occupy 33% of the Republic of Cyprus,and have aggressive strategic positions across the island?Technically,since there is no piece treaty signed since 1974,we are still at war.
Then he says he will shoot communists.That is the only racist remark and in Cyprus,were Communist has become same as Turk-friendly it is very reasonable that they are associated as enemies of the country.

Senior Police Officer from Lemesos, Cyprus. comments:
Nothing illegal in this video!
When the BBC asked Palestinian children what they want to become, when they grow up, they replied: Suicide bombers.
As a Patriot, the grandfather saw fit to bring up his grandson to hate Turks and Communists. Communism is dead, so he wasted his time there.
Turks, we love them, and we are asking them to join us again in co-habitation.
So, logically thinking, grandad's thinking is well out of tune, thats all.

Anatolians and communists

Eroglu and Christofias should stay well away from this kid for their own safety.!

Might have known some would defend and uphold the sick brainwashing and manipulation of a little kid in this way.

But no doubt it goes on in many households here but they don't post it on Facebook.

Two wrongs make one right then? Read the Ombudsman report on the matter. Very interesting.
