The coup
Dear Sir / madam,
I am writing to ask for an opinion from Amnesty International , and draw your attention to the situation in Cyprus.
I will outline a brief history as follows.
During the early years of the 1970's the United States asked for permission to put a military airbase in Cyprus as it feared the country would became a Mediteranean Cuba and have communist involvement. The Cypriot government refused.. In response to this, the United States backed a military junta in Athens led by the Greek National Gaurd. This was acheived by Americans injecting funds into Greece. The junta spread to cyprus and the Greek National Gaurd present there led by Greek officers overthrew the government. Another reason for the spread to Cyprus as well as the Greek National gaurd, was the junta was right wing and involved the right wing nationalist movement, the Aoka.
Nikos Samson became the New government in Cyprus. He was ultra nationalist and fantaically anti-Turkish.
In July 1974 the Turkish army invaded under the pretext of protecting the native turkish population of Cyprus. After they occupied the northern half of the island, after the London - Geneva convention, an American airbase was installed on the Turkish occupied half of Cyprus.
I have a witness to say that C.I.A. officials were seen with turkish soldiers pointing out civillian targets. A relatively short time after the Window to his kebab house on Zeltland road, Redland in Bristol was smashed, but this may have been a coincidence, or something else.
Forcing Greek Cypriots from the north to south and settling Turks from the mainland there is described by historian Brad R. Roth as ethnic cleansing.
According to historian Thomas M. Franck, once Turkey had acheived its objective of collapsing the Junta, it went on to occupy a disproportionate part of the island, precipitating large scale ethnic cleansing.
Last year one of my mothers cousins, Christoforos Skortes, was discovered as a heap of bones at the bottom of a well. For thirty six years he had been a missing person (agnomenos) and myself and relatives had been demasculated hoping for information about lost family and forcing us into silence.
There has been no reliable information as to the fate of another 1587 Greek Cypriots.
I would like to take the opportunity to emphasise the involvement of the United states in this human rights issue.
I have had discusions with some of the Greek Cypriot community in Bristol who owned a cafe, the Elysee cafe on Cheltenham road about this matter. Later the window to the adjacent wedding supplies shop was smashed.
I found this suspicious and after relocating to Barnstaple in Devon, I informed the Avon and Somerset police.
I very much lok forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
