The leader of the Greek Cypriot Administration (GCA), Nikos Christodoulides, attended a commemoration event for those detained in the former Kokkinotrimithia Detention Centers in South Cyprus during the British Administration period (1955-1959).
HE COULDN'T STOP PRAISING THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION In his speech at the ceremony, Christodoulides praised the terrorist organization EOKA, known for its mass killings of Turks and Greeks in Cyprus, stating: "EOKA's struggle intensifies the universal standards of Hellenism, which are timeless and remain relevant. The April 1st uprising was a popular renewal movement of historical purification and national renaissance. And the historical trace and moral mark of the struggle transcended the borders of Cyprus and Greece."
Leader of the Greek Cypriot Administration, Nikos Christodoulides "EOKA'S STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION CONTINUES TO BE AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND AN ETERNAL LESSON FOR ALL OF US" Claiming that the British administration imprisoned more than 3,300 Greek Cypriots on charges of committing crimes between 1955 and 1959, Christodoulides stated, "Seventy years later, EOKA's struggle for liberation continues to be a reference point in social memory, an inexhaustible source of inspiration, and an eternal lesson for all of us. In the area we are in today and in other detention centers, the martyrdom pages of both known and unknown political prisoners and EOKA fighters have been written."
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION EOKA The terrorist organization EOKA was founded by Greek Cypriot officer Georgios Grivas in the mid-1950s with the aim of ending Cyprus's status as a British royal colony and ensuring the unification of the island with Greece.
With the end of British administration in Cyprus and the establishment of the "Republic of Cyprus," the terrorist organization EOKA launched numerous mass killings to expel Turks from the newly established state, also killing Greeks who did not adopt their views.
