This would be a law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy, under which an ethnic based gang of para-military thugs under the direct control of the Interior ministry of said 'government' could walk into a British owned bank in Cyprus in the middle of the day in front of countless witnesses and take my uncle at gunpoint from his job there, murder him and dump his body in a well, for no other reason than he was Turkish Cypriot and said thugs, or those that gave them their orders have never had to fear prosecution, then or now. Is this the "law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy" you are saying TC had trouble 'fitting in' with ?
Who knows the
real reasons behind any such casualties? Perhaps it depends on how many bombs he planted to assist the instability that the
Turkish-Controlled (read,
TC) "community" implemented to steal half our country?
All you do here GiG is show how much you really believe in "a law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy" for in any such thing and for anyone who truly believed in such it would not matter if my uncle had planted bombs or not in the pursuit of taksim, they would STILL accept and admit that in "a law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy" the way to deal with it would be to arrest and prosecute and prove such actions in a court of law and sentence him. That you can imply that using ethnic based illegal paramilitary to summarily murder someone without any due process at all is compatible with "a law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy" just show the depth and extent of your contempt for such ideals as "a law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy".
What you also clearly show is what an ugly minded, nasty individual you are. You try and make out that my uncle may have been some sort of 'TMT terrorist'. The problem is GiG this event is all in living memory, My uncle was KNOWN within his community. It was KNOWN he was not a terrorist or an extremist but just an ordinary Cypriot going about his daily life, trying to support his family and actually was defying the TC leadership of the time by continuing to go to work in a GC controlled area, when they were calling on TC to not do so. That you would, against all common human decency ignore these facts in order to try and make out that how he was killed is compatible with a "law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy" just shows your true nature. The FACT is he was chosen BECAUSE he was entirely innocent as an individual and know by all locally to be so, for that suited the objective of 'terrorising' that those who set up and controlled such illegal armed militias had so much more than 'only' illegally murdering those who were involved in TMT and the pursuit of Taksim.
This is not just 'my word' that my uncle was a normal white collar worker trying to support his family, these are the words of "Dr Andreas Demetriou" in a Cyprus mail article which you can search out on their site if you can be bothered. I quote from it below.
The realisation that the woman standing before .him was the widow of the murdered bank employee brought memories flooding back to 59-year-old Demetriou, formerly Director of Research and Publications at the House of Representatives in Nicosia."I remember, the murder was condemned by all the people in Famagusta at the time,"
"The poor man wanted the well-being of his family; he had a good job, he was a white collar worker for Barclays Bank.
So go ahead GiG, make all the insinuations you like that my uncle was a 'terrorist bomber' as if the summary execution of him without any due process at all by illegal ethnic based thugs run out of the interior ministry would some how be compatible with a "a law-abiding, human rights respecting democracy" even if he had of been, in order to suit your propaganda objectives. Go ahead and shit all over his memory, against all common human decency and empathy, in order to suit your propaganda objectives if you like. All you really do show is what kind of person you REALLY are.
