Our newly discoverd friends will do this for us, while we watch soap operas on tv or wage war through Internet. We used to call them the "Jewish State" and now, miraculously, they became Israel. Even arch Palestinian supporter and President to be Mrs Theocharous, has conveniently forgotten the plight of the Palestinians and started learning Jewish!

The palestinians learnt a lot from EOKA, like hiding behind women.

Why did you let the Turks walk all over you in 74? Here's a clue c*w**ds. I mean where were all the grown up children of the EOKA days?

[quote=Don Kelley]“Hold on a minute 250 GCs? didn't someone else say all the young GC boys were in the EOKA? It looks like you've inherited the GC habit of being economical with the truth.
50 million Brits my arse, more like young conscripts between the age of 18-21.”?[/quote]

So the GCs copied Hitler when he formed the Hitler Youth by forming 'The EOKA YOUTH' to do their dirty work, nothing changes does it.

Let's be clear it was not British soldiers that caused the problems of '74 it was so called British Intelligence... the coomunist kids of the EOKA days who risked there lives resisting the British were all in the UK...

Why did the Turkish invasion succeed?

Could it be that the GCs ran.

The document I refer to follows on from yours.

"... the British Government's role is indisputable. In a letter of 11th March 1971 from Seconde (Southern European Department, FCO), to Ramsbotham (High Commissioner in Cyprus), the former writes:
"We have been through the 1963 papers, which tend to confirm that the Thirteen Points were indeed framed with British help and encouragement; that the then High Commissioner [Clark] considered them to be reasonable prospects; and that our intention was to promote their acceptance by the Turks"
Ramsbotham (HC, Cyprus) wrote later to Seconde:
“Makarios, ever the gentleman, took sole responsibility for the Thirteen Points” PRO FCO 9/1353-WSC 1/1"

ibid

Well we have conflicting reports then. It looks like Britain may have “framed and encouraged” but then probably “decided not to back”

“The full story remains obscure”


On 30 November 1963, President Makarios wrote to Vice- President Küçük proposing thirteen amendments to the constitution which, he said, would 'remove obstacles to the smooth functioning and development of the state'. He did so apparently with the knowledge and encouragement of the British High Commissioner, Sir Arthur Clarke, whether personally or officially is not clear: the full story of this remains obscure. The approach certainly had the qualities of comprehensiveness and candour

No, Jerry, we don't have 'conflicting' reports. The much later document I referred you to reveals what was going on that we were not privy to previously. We do not have the full story for sure - but if new documents shed more light we should be prepared to re-evaluate our history and not be dogmatic about the half-truths fed to us.

Aren't you ashamed for having been so disgracefully defeated by 250 cowards? All 40.000 of you dear-poor conscript darlings?
