No boulio, not all of them wanted partition. Only a small minority did but we handed the TC's to the TMT in a plate, when we started killing innocent people, instead of protecting them from the TMT. Even AKEL with its massive influence in the TC masses (because of Ziartides and PEO) abandoned the TC's to the mercy of TMT, by insisting on enosis and only enosis. We also failed to grasp the realities when we denied self governance on a local level, and insisted on turning the TC's into a sorry minority, at a time when well known Turk-eaters were alive and kicking, such as, Grivas, Sampson, Giorgadjis, Lissarides, Papadopoulos and many others, along of course with EOKA B and the Greek junta which under Ioannides, turned against Makarios because they thought that Makarios was about to sign an agreement and exclude enosis.
