Hope you two are having fun talking on my behalf especially the English speaking Pyro
DT
Did the word intransigent give you a clue? The man (if I can call him that) first of all says that the TCs did not help them in business and developing tourism then later on says that there were no qualified TCs to fill the roles in government either. What was the help he wanted from the TCs? To clean the hotels and the streets maybe? The Guy is an absolute crook ( a bit like Pyro). What was that quote about his mouth dripping with honey and his hands with blood?
Any way. So the TCs were responsible for retreating into safe villages? How laughable is that. Bloody Christmas happens ( of which I was a part. I still remember the tracer bullets flying over our house and the GCs were stopped only a few hundred yards from there) Bombs, beatings, killings and threats from EOKA and he thinks that the TCs should have stayed where they were. Honey and blood.
He then denies depriving the TCs of their privileges and in the same breath he says he ignored the constitutional veto from Denktas and the constitutional rights of every TC by levying taxes without the consent of the whole government.
And you have got the ordacity to ask me what is wrong with that speech......or did you not see all these things????????
There was a page I was going to post here for my finally but it seems these pages are disappearing one by one from the net........I wonder who is sabotaging them.
