In January 1957, for instance, a Turkish Cypriot auxiliary was killed and three wounded by a bomb when guarding a power station; a Turkish Cypriot crowd smashed a number of Greek shops. Ten days later there was similar trouble in Famagusta. On 27 and 28 January 1958, there were two days of serious rioting by thousands of Turkish Cypriots in Nicosia leading to pitched battles with British forces at the end of which seven Turks were dead. This was a clear sign of the rise of a Turkish para-military organization, the TMT (Turk Mudafa Teskilat-- Turkish Defence Organization) and the loss of confidence by the Turkish Cypriots in the durability of Britain's stand against the Greeks.

For President we can invite Dr Herodotos's son Dr Kypros to return from London...If he refuses we can always ask my mother!

Dr Kypros is a good idea..he can even inplant microchips on every paphian embryo to make sure no more Makarioses are born:)))))
Failing him, your mother sounds ok..but can she speak paphitika???:))))

Looks like they did.

The Turkish Cypriots, despite their belligerency, were clearly at a serious disadvantage in that the TMT as yet had only very limited access to firearms. But Turkish orators set out to bolster morale by comparing the campaign with the struggle for Islam and by urging the Turks not to be discouraged by the lack of arms: 'Anatolia's war was fought with sticks and axes. '" The local leaders advised householders to accumulate in their homes knives, axes, sledges, pointed tools, large stones, boiling water and petrol. Convinced that Turkey would send troops to their aid, the Turkish Cypriots were in no way daunted by the fact that Greeks outnumbered them by four to one. Turkish houses displayed posters showing the island partitioned beneath the figure of a helmeted Turkish soldier. The fanaticism which was associated with EOKA now permeated the TMT, which called for 'PARTITION OR DEATH!'

Thanks for the translation. My greek dictionary gives them as synonyms so I did not know which one to use.
Yes, I am absolutely serious, only over my dead body will Papadopolous walk victorious over the TRNC!
