The 12th June 1958 - The FIRST inter-communal slayings in Cyprus…

It is one second to midnight on the 11th of June 1958, and most Cypriots after a hard day of toiling in the sun, are sleeping unwary of the fact that when the new morning breaks Cyprus will take an historic turn for the worse for it’s on this new coming day, the 12th June 1958 that the relationship of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities will be tarnished forever by the drawing of FIRST BLOOD!

On 12 June 1958 eight innocent and unarmed Greek Cypriot civilians from Kondemenos village were murdered by T.M.T. terrorists near the Turkish populated village of Geunyeli. That was the first incident involving human lives.

The Turkish community was whipped into a frenzy by broadcasts from Turkey calling for the partition of Cyprus. Violence between the Turks and Cypriots broke out in early June and climaxed when eight Greeks were massacred in a cornfield near the Turkish village of Geunyeli.

At the request of the British Governor, a 23-page report was later published titled…

”Findings of the Commission of Inquiry into the incidents at Geunyeli Cyprus on 12th June 1958”



…which clearly described the fateful events in great detail and aftermath, although some sections are not very legible due to poor photo copying, and can be found here in PDF format…

On the 12th of June this year (2008) it will be the 50th anniversary of this darkest of days in the history of Cyprus so please spare a moment for these unfortunate souls…

I will explain those deaths ....

You invaded our country!

.... if you did not expect to suffer some losses whilst we defend ourselves from losing 100% of our country instead of nearly half, as well as thousands of our people ....... then get lost!

One good thing about the British colonialist period (1878..1960) was their incessant habit of recording everything in excruciating detail, so a little research and the supply of neutral evidence to back any claims, would be very much appreciated by anyone who wants to build a case to counter this thread. Thanks.

sorry for double post.

good answer will be from Greek Cypriy writer

"Our Haunted Country"
by Makarios Droushiotis

Over 200 Greek Cypriots have been accused of treason and executed by EOKA. At least 1000 families bear the stain of treason without substantiation, without a shred of evidence. Those who have tried to obtain information from the fighters' organisations faced an impenetrable wall: "They don't know, they won't reply." Those who by themselves investigated the motives of the killings usually come to other conclusions, which have nothing at all to do with treason. In August 1958 EOKA indiscriminately killed Turkish Cypriots and TMT Greeks. In total, 115 Cypriots (60 Greeks and 55 Turks, tit for tat) were killed in bicommunal clashes. The victims' only "sin" was their ethnicity.

There is always other side of the coin .................
