Firstly, Hello all. Just wanted to let you know that I "miracelously" (quoting my doctors there ) pulled through my surgery a couple of months ago and doing well now. I want to especially thank Zan, mrfromng, Piratis, andri_cy, Natty, Snad and Kikapu for their good wishes. All the best...

Now lets spice things up a little . I have a question to the GCs:

Back in the 50s, 60s, 70s and perhaps in the 80s, the GC community was a fervent supporter of ENOSIS which lead the island into chaos and misery. How does the GC community look back to the lethal aspirations of ENOSIS; and does it still have supporters today?

[pitsilos]

it never had supporters to start with. hence as to why the coup failed big time.

there might have been a vote prior to the 60's, but if people were told of a violent/forceful enosis they would have voted aaginst it.

but can i ask the same question in reverse?

[pitsilos]

oh and glad everything worked ok and you are up on your feet again.

Do you actually have a clue what you are talking about.

Actually, you gave me an id for a new thread and poll...

Thank you Pitsiolos for your good wishes.

(1) On your claim why the coup failed:
The coup failed because Turkey intervened. The coup was on when the Turkish Peace Forces landed on the island.

(2) On you claiming that ENOSIS had no supporters to begin with:
6 April 1973, from Archbishop Makarios III interview with John Harrison of the London Daily Express:
"Union of Cyprus with Greece has always been the national aspiration of the Greek Cypriots. This national feeling has deep roots and the Greek Cypriots would favor Enosis under any circumstances. Various factors, however, and mainly the opposition of Turkey do not make Enosis attainable."

Yeah, enosis had never supporters to start with!! that's why the coup failed!!! (the coup actually failed!?) there was a vote prior to the 60's!!!! but if people were told (!!!!!) of a violent/forceful (!!) enosis, they would have voted against it!!!!!!

Are you real, man, or are you (and about a dozen others like you) just a gimmic of the phorum operators to spice things up?!

Hos geldin kardesim. Fantastic to see that you have beaten what ever it was that you were battling and have come back fighting.


As to your question, I believe there was a referendum in the early 60s and I believe that Piratis has quoted it many times. He said that 92%, or there abouts, voted for ENOSIS. I asked my parents if they voted and they said that the voting was done in the churches and was attended only by GCs. As to whether they want it now....What’s the use, they have it through the EU. I read today that the conservative leader has said that the EU is falling apart so maybe there might be renewed interest.

polis and pitsilos: I`d would be greatful if you`d keep the personal insults away from the thread so we can hear reponses to my actual question from GCs. Thanks.
