Today is the 10th anniversary of my late father in laws passing. He fought for his country in the troubles, but passed away before they opened the crossing in 2003. I don't think he ever went back to his true home land. Sad really. Very sad.


Bickering pales into significance sometimes.


Why was he shot ?


I'm not precisely sure. So forgive me if, anything I say may sound incorrect.
I 'think' he was serving in the army at the time(which is correct), and he wouldn't join the rebels(EOKA?? the bit I'm unsure of).
As there is no family to directly ask, my hubby has only his memory of what his father told him when he was young. We were at the Orthodox church a couple of months ago, and one of the elders was an old family friend. When asked about family he immediately said, we must never forget your Uncle Giorgos.

Of course, this is one of those mysteries tied in with trying to find our fathers family.

I don't think it is up to you from a legal point of view.

The RoC has dejure sovereignty.

So it is just a matter of time before your house of cards fall.

My apologies for my rubbish ramblings, and not particularly good seperations of facts. I can't even write in my own language :oops: :oops:


No, two stories.

My late father in laws 'brother' was shot in front of his family, they say by his own people.
We don't forget.
Which happened during the troubles. Hence the answer to your question 'why was he shot?'

Today is the 10th anniversary of my late father in laws passing
who never went back to his true homeland before his death, because the Zodhia crossing opened too late for him.

Hope that's more clear :oops:

For thousands of years we have seen off many tyrannical occupations and imperialists.

You will be no different. Mark my words, it is just a question of time and you know it so keep looking over your soldier for that inevitable day!

You wish but as long as you continue with the same mindset nothing will change and you will be dead and long gone so it will make no difference.
