If I am correct, the document was to be kept strictly secret, but weren't there lots of briefings and meetings with all of his 'cohorts' to discuss the 'detail'. I wonder what the detail was. Hmmm, could it have something to do with the TC's!!!
And They always say........The DEVIL is in the detail.......Don't they.

So what is your understanding of the purpose and meaning of the Akritas plan then? You still haven't said!!

Apparently, the GC leadership, he claims above, had a problem stipulating in a secret document such as the Akritas plan, their profound aim and intention to annihilate the TCs from Cyprus, a document which was also meant to be burned once the briefing of a completely controlled audience of pre-selected and trusted colleges on its content would have ended, while at the same time they claim that Makarios had no problem saying publicly and in front of a totally uncontrolled audience (in an open speech in Panayia village) what the GC side's true aims and intentions visa vie the TCs were.
In the first case of the control audience and the secret Akritas plan, they are able to read between the lines that what it was not stipulated, should be extracted, implied and concluded from “reading between the lines,” however, in the case of the uncontrolled audience and the public Makarios speech, what was stipulated should not be interpreted -again from reading between the lines, that it was not intended but rather the outcome of frustration.

Exactly the point Kifeas. If it was put in writing for all to see, then there could be no doubt whatsoever in ANYONES minds what the Akritas plan was all about, but what was stated in Panayia village COULD (if unsuitable ears got wind of it) be construed as unintentional, and borne out of frustration, despair, and anger. And guess what.........It worked........and people believed it......didn't they Kifeas.

In fact, there was a large scale military exercise (with guns and live ammunition) of these people by the mountain residence of Makarios, high on mount Troodos. Of course, Kifeas can also dismiss this as an act born out of frustration and dismay, or even unsubstantiated propaganda, but this will not surprise me since he has shut himself out of the real world and has thrown the key away.
