Paul



Sorry to be picky but I think that the title of the article is a little misleading.



Whilst in the article it states:



"He revealed in the course of his speach that the Greek Military invaded the Island on 14.7.1974 and were the main instigators of the coup on the 15.7.74 which caused the demise of the incumbant Archbishop Makarios III."



I don't see anywhere in the article where he states that the greek invasion was the 'cause' of the turkish intervention.



He is only reiterating what history already records. If he was to acknowledge that it was the coup that caused the intervention and therefore accept a significant proportion of blame, then that would be a huge step !!



Don't hold your breath



Paul
