I DO!!And I will prove to you (hopefully today or tomorrow) that the contents of the book related to the Kofinou case are rubbish. This author should be ashamed of her/himself for publishing a book on so serious issues based on such shallow and contradictory information or, rather, stories.
Title of the Book (or a chapter of it)?
A turning point in the history of Cyprus: The events of Kofinou… Parts of the book, related to the Kofinou incidents, were posted in this forum in 2008 taken from a relevant article published by a GC news paper. They provide a very good laugh. Cause the "findings" of this author contradict even what TC RESIDENTS or relatives of residents of Kofinou at the time, who happened to be (and some still are) members of this forum, had to say about the "info" contained in the book. Such as, the info about the commanding officers of the local TMT militants. And the "info" about the alleged burning alive of the TC old man. An "incident" reported to the author by someone who was 10 years old when it happened, who saw something burning on the floor of a room but could not make out what it was, but, later, this poor 10 year old boy, heard from "others" that what was burning was a poor TC old man. The good author fails to tell us how much later this poor 10 years old boy learned this dreadful truth. 10 days? 10 months? Or 10 years later? and by whom? And from where? Did this poor old man have any close or distant relatives to confirm the story? A name? Anything else that would connect him to reality??
Forgot to mention that, according to this "esteemed" author, this poor 10 year old "eyewitness", who went through a devastating raid of his village by the GC National Guard, which lasted for many hours, and who saw people being killed around him, soon as the battle was over carried on with his childish activities and games like nothing had ever happened , not caring and not understanding what was going on, and playing just a few yards away from where the GC NG was lining up the bodies of the poor TCs who had been killed during the raid.
F....ng revolting.
You agree GR???Enjoy the article. Draw you conclusions. And I will come back with mine.
cyprus21404.html?hilit=kofinouP.S. The Kofinou issue is off topic here. Maybe we can continue it under the thread of GR where it was left back then in 2008? That thread contains some excelent posts and lots of information provided by older forum members.
