He is a dead Archbishop, Bananiot, whom historians and writers will judge. For good or bad. With all the evidence of history and our tragic situation to hand. It ill becomes you to make such pronouncements. They merely sound vindictive and bitterly personal. I have read many unbiased historical accounts of the events leading up to the invasion and they do not lay the blame at one man's door. That would be a foolish and unhistorical judgement. There were forces at work in Cyprus that Makarios fell victim to no doubt. He also made errors no doubt. But we cannot allow the Turks to escape responsibility for their role in the island's current division. It is Turkey which occupies Cyprus against international law. Makarios and the people of Cyprus were as much victims as they were protagonists. I am staggered you seem to believe otherwise.
Answer one question so that we can determine your credibility, was the pervert makarios a supporter of enosis from day 1?
