Do not worry humanist we will get there too. We are trying to make chronological. We have to understand what led to it. If you think couple of people fired a few bullets and Turkey just invaded, you are very much mistaken by ausi friend.
On 23 April 1962, the anti-Denktash journalists Aihan Hikmet
and Ahmet Muzafer Gurkan published in their Turkish-Cypriot
newspaper “Tzumhuriet” that the bombing of the mosques
was undertaken by those criminal elements within the
Turkish community, who were preparing new bi-communal
confrontations. They also warned that in their next edition
they would name those responsible.
They were both murdered the very same evening (23 April
1962).
Aihan Mustafa Hikmet was murdered whilst sleeping in his
own bed (asleep in the bed next to him was his wife and
two under-aged children) and Ahmet Muzafer Gurkan on
the doorstep of his house just as he was coming out of his
car.
The murder was the work of TMT. This is what Aziz and
Seferoglou wrote:
“By murdering Hikmet and Gurkan ‘Tzumhuriet’ was
silenced as well, because nobody from their associates
dared risk his life in order to continue its publication.
There was no security whatsoever for the successors
of the journalists. The murderous hand of the fascist
clique of Denktash was ready to act against anybody
who dared lift his head”.
On 13 April 1965, two days after the murder of Dervis Ali
Kavazoglou, Dr Ihsan Ali in a message to the Greeks and
Turks of Cyprus said:
“We all know very well, the circumstances under
which the Turkish leadership gained power in 1960
[Fazil Kutchuk and Rauf Denktash]. They gained that
power through terrorism therefore they do not lawfully
represent the Turkish community. There is no doubt
that both the Turkish government and the Press are
well aware of these facts, and I wonder how they can
be misled by these people. They also know that it is
the Turkish-Cypriot leadership that murdered Hikmet
and Gurkan because they followed a peaceful policy
for co-existence between the two communities.
Now they repeated the same brutal crime murdering the
Turkish Trade Unionist leader Kavazoglou for exactly
the same reason. One wonders how the Press and
the Turkish government can support such murderers
[…]”.
On 12 May 1965, in another message to the Turkish-Cypriot
community in England, Dr. Ihsan Ali referred to “paid organs
of chief-terrorist Denktash”, adding:
“The Turkish-Cypriot leadership, which as you know
has been imposed on us by the colonial power, has
spread terrorism all over the community and has
imposed a state of police regime, under which nobody
can express free speech or criticize its mistakes.
Anyone expressing an opinion or criticizes, is either
subjected to thrashing or is executed. As a result of
this inhuman treatment, our co-patriots have been
turned into robots in the hands of their leaders and
many have been forced to abandon Cyprus, as many
of you have done, to save themselves from terrorism.
Those few left to dare cry out their opinion have
been murdered, just like Aihan Hikmet and Muzafer
Gurkan in 1962. Recently, we have witnessed another
brutal murder, that of Kavazoglou, who was murdered
simply because he dared criticize the Turkish-Cypriot
leadership, which through violence forced a large
number of our co-patriots to abandon their homes
and properties and because he preached peaceful
co-existence between the two communities”.
Aziz and Seferoglou wrote:
“Kavazoglou’s articles, his journalistic interviews to
foreign and local Press, his speeches from Radio
broadcasts, his television appearances, were all a
daily accusation, an open relentless accusation of the
terrorist, fascist methods of the sold to imperialism
Turkish-Cypriot leadership. In parallel however his
messages were of hope, of esteem and courage for
the suffering masses of Turkish-Cypriot workers who
suffer under the imposition of terrorism […]”.
As Aziz and Seferoglou reported in their publication, Kavazoglou
wrote the following in his own speeches:
“The imperialists, in order to promote their disgusting
objectives, created the myth and the lie that it is
impossible for the two communities to live in peace in
Cyprus. And, with the assistance of their agents, they
uprooted almost 20 thousand Turks and fenced them
in places that do not differ from concentration camps.
Today, thousands of Turks live like nomads in tents in
the country side, away from their homes, their villages,
their fields, their peaceful working places. Elementary
and Secondary schools are closed and thousands
of children are deprived of their education. A handful
of fascists, assisted by the imperialists and using
weapons and fascist methods, took over the Turkish-
Cypriot leadership. These are the people responsible
for the suffering of the Turkish-Cypriot people. This
fascistic group does not allow the Turkish people to
express their real sentiments and thoughts, which
are against imperialism. It is not an exaggeration to
compare these concentration camps for the Turkish-
Cypriots with those of Hitler, Bouchenwald and other.
In the darkness of the night they shoot and murder
democratic journalists and progressive personalities
of our community. They arrest, kidnap and imprison
all that dare to speak freely and express their opinion.
They subject them to torture, employing instruments
of the Middle Ages invented by Hitler […]”.
Kavazoglou, Ihsan Ali, Aziz and Seferoglou began their
denunciations two years after the beginning of the 1963-
64 armed Turkish attacks (against the Greeks) and the
enforcement of TMT’s pre-planned scheme (as described
in the documents discovered in “Plumer’s safe”) of moving
by armed force the Turkish-Cypriots into the enclaves under
the armed control of TMT itself.

Come on B25, Gardash, this is a good thread, its one that I'll definitely keep an eye on during my rare visits to the forum these days. What you wrote above is trully a disgrace. Do you think this is doing your cause any good? telling someone who's been here for centuries that he should fuck off? If anybody in public told me to fuck off from England because I'm a foreigner that person would go to prison. You claim to be european so I'm inviting you to behave like one. If you got anything to say and debate then do it, otherwise just read and move on. Well done Lordo, good work.
