Turkish Genocide

Postby elias » Tue Dec 07, 2004 11:41 pm

The turks non-stop complain about atrocities commited by greek cypriots during the early 60's, and use that as the reason for the so called retaliation (hence invasion) of turkey in 74.(by the way turkey tried invading before but since america said no turkey didnt follow through with its plans for invasion.....it was only when the junta in greece declined to comply with U.S. orders that the U.S. gave the ok for turkey to invade,fearing that the U.S. would lose control of its military bases in cyprus to the greeks)

But what about all the atrocities commited by the turks to the greeks(and im not talking about 74!)
What about the greco-armenian masacre of nearly 1.1 million greco-armenian christian orthodox people.
What about the 100's of thousands of people killed in Smyrna (modern day Izmir) in 22 during turkeys independence. And as their beloved leader quoted after the masacres
"We got rid of them!"

Why dont our hellenic brothers ever complain about those atrocities commited to greeks by the turks long before the RoC existed!

These are not facts but allegations, which are heavily disputed.

What the Greek Cypriots did in Muratag, Attilar, Sandallar, Tokni, Omorphita.... can also be considered as genocide.

Read "Genocide Files" by Sir Harry Scott Gibons or the countless reports by UN peace keepers.



Your people suffered and so did ours. Whats your point?

His point is that he is one of the EOKA boys who hate turks, read some of his posts really out of order.

I believe this is his point.

For me the ideal would be to stop talking about the past, learn our lessons, and start something new and better than what we had before.

Unfortunately, some TCs say something in the lines of: "GCs are bad. Look what they have done to us in the past. Because of this past, they have to be convicted to an eternity of restrictions in their human and democratic rights".

Wouldn't it be much better to agree that in the past we all had our bad periods, and stop using the past as an excuse to achieve something against human rights and democracy?

If we continue this way, we will never manage to find true peace. Whenever Greeks are strong they will violate the human rights of the Turks. Whenever Turks are strong they will violate the human rights of Greeks. In the end, we all loose like this. The only way to win, is to realize that we are not Greeks or Turks or whatever else, but citizens of this island that we can protect our interests much better if we are united.
