Last night there was an interview with a woman on ANT1 TV who was tortured and raped in 1974. She had no teeth, she was 16 in 1974, i.e she must be 46 today, but she looked like 60 to me.
Her story in summary is as follows:She went to see a TC friend of hers called Hamide (or something).On the way she met a lot of Turkish Tanks and Turkish soldiers.A TC took her inside a house where an old Greek Cypriot that could not move was staying.He beat her on the face broke her glasses, and broke all her teath.Then he teared off her skirt and called the Turkish soldiers in.They were raping her in serial from 5 o’clock in the afternoon until the morning of next day a total of 30 soldiers, in front of the old man who was begging them not to kill her.The soldiers thought she was his daughter. She lost her senses and got hemmorage.A turkish officer came in the morning and threw the soldiers out.He showed her a photograph with his wife and children (obviously trying to tell her he was a family man and would protect her) and stayed with her for 2-3 hours until the soldiers and the tanks left the place.Then told her to run away because they would eventually kill her.She run and met a UN man.The UN then took her to the British bases hospital...Needless to say that the woman today is a psychological wreck.Could be clearly seen on the TV. Her biggest complain was that her own family rejected her calling her “a prostitute”. But she said it was not my fault that they raped me , I was a virgin girl not a prostitute....But still her family don't want her.
Then the program continued with another story from a seemingly rich lady.She heard baby cryings inside a dark warehouse in Larnaca and getting in she met a hungry girl around 19 having two (twin) babies with her.Her family did not want her.Brought food and milk to her and then brought her to her own house in Nicosia.That girl was raped from many Turkish soldiers who kept her hostage in a house in 1974. After the war she came to the free areas but it was very late to have an abortion.The father of those twins was one of the rapists.The rich lady after a few weeks took the girl by the hand and went to Larnaca to talk to the parents.Not only the parents but also the brothers and sisters almost kicked the rich lady and the girl out of the house.Once again the girl was “a prostitute” for them.
And a final strory in the program.Dr Kutchuk a Turkish Academic living in Turkey now.He was an officer in the Turkish Army then.He showed a banch of handwritten notes of his.These he said are my notes from the war. This page concerns a rape. I heard but did not have the courage to go and see that behind the wall there was a woman.And they were raping her simultaneously from both sides every time (front and behind).By the time a soldier told me already 60 soldiers have raped her.And then Dr Kutchuk started crying and the cameraman stopped the interview...
