Sometimes hearing the TCs in here asking us why we resisted the "peace forces" why we left our houses etc really makes me mad.

Oh yeah we should all stay their to have our sisters raped in their "kerhanes".
And the males get excecuted in cold blood.

il:

You have to pay money, if you go to "kerhanes", so that is not considered rape. But in your case, you did the best thing by leaving your house, before anything did happen to your family. Hope you will have a chance to go back in the future.

thanks Pyrpolizer for your answer.

with due respect to the foolish, does it matter where posters are from? It does help both gc and tc when they understand a little of the other's grief.

may i wish you luck with your plans.

I will look out for the Sevgul Ulutag book and read with interest. I suggest gc also read the other side's too, for somewhere between the lines of both books, cypriots will get to understand the real nature of the Cyprob.

As for those who responded to my posts with insults instead of constructive critque: G.F.Y.'s



Ps Mr Prypolizer, i dont add this in a derogatory way but most of the bullets used for the turkish parachuters were probably wasted. I understand that mostly the turks dropped decoy dummy parachutes, as distraction, and to increase the chances of survival for the live parachuters.

Pyrpolizer excuse me for being too judgemental, I didnt backtrack your post far enough to realize your point was for rolo. Especially when mostly all your posts are subjected to equality. My bad.

No it doesn’t matter. I simply replied because I understood the spirit in which you asked. I personally don’t like to talk of the attrocities of any side. They make me sad. Be sure I ‘ve read many attrocities the GCs did in the past.

Excuse me but where did I ever refer to parachuters?

Did you read the articles Kikapu to understand the meaning of "kerhanes" -in quotation marks-or is your ass speaking once again? Let me help you:

In some areas, enforced prostitution was practised, all women and girls of a village being collected and put into separate rooms in empty houses where they were [ raped repeatedly.

i have a good idea what Viewpoint and his/her followers will respond to your stories. Pyrpolizer.
My father fought in the war, and hes never talked to me about it or told me any stories, the only thing i know he and the few others in his unit were lucky to survice the circumstances they faced, where they managed to go into an area that enemy had taken over near Pentadaktilos and they didnt know at the time but they went around the area the Turkswere and came out the other side to safety.
Ik now there were conflicts wih Turkish troops while i lasted but i dont know what happened.

As far as I can see, Cyprus, this small beautiful Island, was being bombarded everywhere...First the attempted Coup, where many GC's fought and died to protect their country, and sought refuge with their TC friends and neighbours, and then the Turkish Invasion...and we mustn't forget the Extremist irregulars on both sides during the inter-communal fighting. Extremist irregulars that, as far as I can tell, were being supported by 'outside' powers, as oppose to the ordinary TC's and GC's (the vast majority) who just wanted peace....

When I hear of all these stories of what happened during the invasion, it makes me so sad, but what lifts my heart are all the other stories that tell of TC friends and neighbours, who came to the aid of their GC friends (of which there are many). My heart goes out to all people that suffered (GC's, TC's, Maronites, Armenians, Latins etc...), and not just in 1974....

Again, I feel for the victims of 1974, who suffered, and are still suffering today (My family included)...and not just the GC's, but the innocent TC's that were targeted by GC irregulars, after the invasion, who instead of taking out their revenge on what was happening to the GC's and to Cyprus, on the Turkish Army, to fight them face to face, they instead chose to attack some innocent TC's, who had nothing to do with the invasion...

All we want now is peace, and instead of being presented (again) with 'solutions' that will cause future tension and mistrust, just like all those years ago..We want a fair solution for everyone...the fact that the majority on this forum, both TC's and GC's, accept, or are willing to have a similar solution, to the one that Kifeas presented, shows that we can write our own fate, and agree on the future of our country!

Peace!
