  • "A massacre of Turkish Cypriot occured in this village of Tochni where 92 unarmed men and boys was rounded up and then were marched to a pre-dug hole by the Greek Cypriot national guard and lined up in front of the hole, they were then each given a cigarette each to smoke and then shot in cold blood and their lifeless bodies fell into the hole and then the earth was pushed over them, this was a massacre of all degrees and i would call it genocide as they were killed for one reason and that is because they were Turkish Cypriot."
  • one of many villages where Greeks massacred Turks.
  • What my ancestors did is not justified, but don't forget that Turks have done muchhhh worse. They've massacred thousands of Greek, Cypriots and Armenians.
  • we are talking about cyprus here and the only race of people thatw ere massacred were turkish cypriots . Tohni consisted of boys and men other villages consisted of babies,children and the elderly . and they were masacred collectively by their own fellow village neighbours that were EOKA. And just to correct you they are not your ancestors as these murderers are still alive in their 50s upwards .I know who some of them are quietly living their lives in silence in cyprus. Why have they not been brought to justice ? the nazis did . Their leaders did anyway . Why do greeks deny what they did to turkish cyprioys and please do not tell me the turks did this or that to your ancestors . i am asking a direct question as i am a turkish cypriot not a Turk so dont telme what turks done . You know for a fact Turkish Cypriots did nothing to greeks .
