Inter-Communal Violence Revisited…

Postby Get Real! » Wed Mar 28, 2007 8:16 pm

"I was informed that on 7 June 1958 a bomb had been planted in the Turkish press office in Nicosia by persons who, as was later established, had nothing to do with the Greek Cypriots. The Turks of Nicosia were then incited to be overwhelmed by holy indignation and perpetrated acts similar to those committed on 6 and 7 September 1955 in Istanbul."
Former Turkish diplomat, Emin Dirvana, in Turkish newspaper Milliyet, 15 June 1964

"The explosion sparked off a night of riots in Nicosia. Turkish Cypriots burned and looted Greek shops and homes. Soon came counter-attacks and the fighting spread around the island. A friend of mine, whose name must still be kept secret, was to confess to me that he had put this little bomb in the doorway in order to create an atmosphere of tension so that people would know that the Turkish Cypriots mattered.

Let me once again repeat myself.

Do we need to rehash all the previous events.?

What is the purpose of your post GR.?

Are you looking to incite more hate and mistrust with such posts.?

Enough already with who did what and when. Tell us, how we can change things tomorrow, for the better.

Thank you.

I did take a long brake to give the "what now?" a chance but unfortunately this only led to Zan and Murat upgrading their campaign so I guess it's back to business unless they want to call a truce because I've got stacks of fresh material here... :)

Is it one mans statement? any eye witnesses or confessions from the people who carried out the act? You are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

No, that's not what I'm saying. Denktash confirmed the act but If I remember well he hid the identity of the perpetrator.

Does this let the Brits off the hook for their 'divide a rule' policy?

these are tactics used by both our nationalists to spark hate.
we all know by now who put the bomb at markos drakos statue and who at the bairaktar. :wink:
problem is, that each continues to implicitly support our own nationalists.

this is the real tragedy :( :(
