Well, this is interesting...
Whereas many CYs condemn and express regret for past atrocities by paramilitaries, it seems that many are still in denial of the murderous and sectarian plans put in place by TMT/Volkan since the 1950's.
Esra Aygin writes in in-cyprus.
Here are some excerpts...
"... Documents from the BritishV archives published in the Turkish Cypriot media confirm that the Turkish Resistance Organisation – TMT is responsible for the murders and attempted murders of a number of leftist Turkish Cypriots in May 1958. ..."
"... The leaflet goes on to say that “Sadi Erkurt and Fadıl Önder, who have been branded as national traitors and communist tools, have received their merited punishment” and adds that “our only answer to persons who try to split and break up or weaken our national unity will be a bullet fired into their brains.”
A second document, another leaflet signed by the “TMT Central Committee” – and distributed on May 31, 1958 according to the S.B. headquarters – referring to Ahmet Yahya, states: “Another Traitor, who is not a genuine Turk, has been eliminated by our (Killer) Teams”.
This leaflet also helps explain why, during that period, hundreds of Turkish Cypriots had resigned from bi-communal Greek Cypriot trade unions and announced their decision to do so in newspapers... "
"... Since the publication of these documents in the media, a number of columnists and opinion leaders have taken up the issue and demanded that the Turkish Cypriot community face the past and restore the honour of the people branded as traitors, attacked, tortured and murdered only because they advocated a peaceful life in Cyprus together with Greek Cypriots and rejected the partition policies. ...
