[KELEBEK]

I m sorry if I m stealing Alasya`s article but I have a better poll question. Considering his backround of attacks on T/Cs of Larnaca district in 1963-1974, who believes Papadopoulos should be brought to the war crimes tribunal in the Hague for his physical attacks on T/Cs?

Below is Alasya`s article:

A former associate of the new President of south Cyprus, Tassos Papadopoulos, has described the Greek Cypriot leader as a ‘sickened Turk-hater who can never compromise his hardline nationalist beliefs.

The description comes from Andreas Ziartides, a leading Greek Cypriot trade unionist and a member of AKEL, the Communist party that was one of Papdopoulos’ main backers in the recent election.

Mr Ziartides is quoted in the Greek Cypriot daily Alıthea, which published a profile of Papadopoulos on 2 February 2003.

“I had realised that he had no ear for concessions or compromise regarding the Turks.

I have identified a very negative characteristic. He is a sickened Turk-hater. He is a sickened racist with regard to the Turks. With Tasos as interlocutor, it t is impossible to find a compromise with the Turks.”

The new leader in the south certainly has a long history of anti-Turkish activity. On 23 October 1967, he made the following speech at the celebration of United Nations Day in Limasol: “Freedom for us means only the integration of this southern outpost of Hellenism into national entity.”

It was this belief that led him to take action during the attacks on 15 November 1967 against the Turkish Cypriot villages of Kophinou (Geçitkale) and Ayios Theodoros (Boğaziçi). The aim of these attacks were again to eliminate the Turkish Cypriots in these villages situated at strategically important places near Limasol, from where tens of thousands of Greek soldiers were clandestinely launched in the island.

Tassos Papadopoulos was also one of the Greek Cypriot leaders who tried to make the 1960 Constitution unworkable and thereby achieve ENOSIS His role in the Akritas Plan, a plot to wipe out the Turkish Cypriot population, was noted as follows in the book Genocide Files (p.81) by British journalist Harry Scott Gibbons: “In order to implement this scheme (altering unilaterally the Constitution to achieve ENOSIS), Makarios entrusted Polykarpos Yorgadjis, Tassos Papadopoulos and Glafkos Clerides with the task of formulating a secret plan of action. This plan, the famous “Akrtitas Plan”…”

Why right after them? The Hellen's ruling elite is the starter, Turkish side is the responder. The crimes of the starters and the crimes of the responders should be investigated seperately, imo.

[boulio]

what ever you say boss.

[KELEBEK]

i agree all criminals should be brought to justice, even Turkish ones but I insist that Papadoc should be hanged by his balls.

When the Hellens were creating civilization in Cyprus and Asia Minor, the Turks were still living in caves eating roots somewhere near Mongolia.

Then at some point the Turks decided to move in our area and do the ONLY thing they know: kill, rape and steal what others created.

Piratis: When the Hellens were creating civilization in Cyprus and Asia Minor, the Turks were still living in caves eating roots somewhere near Mongolia.

thats just rubbish, you`ve obviously never read anything about the Tonyukok inscriptions in Central Mongolia, or the Bilge Kagan inscriptions? or the have heard anything about the Gokturks? or Uighur empires? Turkic-Buddhist inscriptions? or have even heard of the Khazars?

It was never the Hellens who came to Cyprus, it was the Minoanians who did NOT identify themselves as Greek. You seem to forget that the Hellens or Ancient Greeks never actually called themselves Greek. Some pf them spoke what is an earlier form of Greek. Doesnt make them Greek because they spoke it.

The descendants of the G/C were the heroes of the Trojan War, or in modern day terms, those perpetrated the first genocide the World has ever heard of, battle of Troy. Unless any of you have heard of this, let me remind you that the ancient Minoanians murdered every single soul, man woman and child in Troy, which is located in Western Turkey, today it is called ethnic cleansing.Great ancesters! Is this where you get your inspiration and pride from Piratis?
